NOTE: The options -a and -b override a given timetable A timetable should look like this, the format is always: startpoint endpoint startpoint endpoint like: ---- 8< cut here ---- 0:01 1:00 1:05 3:57 11:15 19:33 01:01.34 02:39.78 0:0 -1:0 ---- 8< cut here ---- The ':' is no longer mandatory since cutmp3 2.0.1! Numbers only mean minutes then, but 3.7 means 3.7 seconds Negative time means distance from end of file. Syntax is NOT hh:mm:ss but mm:ss.subseconds So writing a timetable should not be difficult, just use your common sense ;-) Since cutmp3 1.4 you _can_ use hundredths of a second in a timetable.
