Hello all, ive been trying do this for years, but never found out. I have a single 18 minute wave file that I want to create points on it between track parts so I can skip to the next track when I put it on my mp3 player? Annoying having to listen to the whole track without being able to skip to the next track.
I have Cubase 8.5 and Wavelab Elements 9, not been on them for a little while, so I presume it can be done in both? Any advise would be great, cheers!

I think you need to look for info on the 'montage' feature
Amazon: why not use an alternative

In any audio editor I tried:
* select first section with mouse
* cut & paste to new file
* save new file
Repeat until nothing is left
If the cut points are not at a silent part, make sure the sample number is a multiple of 512. That is the block size of mp3. Full block will mean less gap.

Thanks for the replies. I thought it would’ve been simpler than cut and pasting. I thought just inserting a special marker did the job and embedded itself into an audio file. Not sure now if Audacity works like this, by dropping a simple marker to create the skip points.

Sorry, Mp3 does nothing with markers. Splitting into multiple files is the ony thing that works.

I could be wrong, but I don't there's any audio file format that can contain markers.

Yes Audacity calls it labelling.

Easily done in Audacity using labels, then "File > Save Other > Export Multiple...."
This exports each section of the track between labels as a separate file using the name in the label. So you just add labels to the track, and then export (you can edit tags in each new clip as it exports).
Voila! No cut and paste required.

I've been able to do this with Fission (by Rogue Amoeba) on a Mac, fairly easily. Another approach I used in the past was cue splitting (mostly used on DJ mixsets with attendant cue files). I can't seem to find the ancient program I used to use, but I found this one which still seems available:
