BTW, another way is to do this:
1) use xmms to find the cut points
2) i=Armin\ van\ Buuren\ -\ A\ State\ of\ Trance\ 100\ 050603.mp3; mp3cut -o new.mp3 -t 0:2-55:35 "$i" -t 60:00-118:07 "$i" -t 121:32-178:40 "$i" -t 182:18-239:04 "$i" -t 242:38-295:39 "$i"
   with mp3cut from apt-get install poc-streamer

but that's pretty tedious to do :)

If you have better ideas, I'm all ears :)

Thanks
Marc
