Splitting mp3 at frame boundaries should not cause artifacts. If it does
submit a bugreport to whatever decoder you use. If its libavcodec, ill fix
that if you provide such a file with artifacts at the start. Of course
if you split and then randomly combine the parts artifacts could occur but
thats a little odd use case.

I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your
right to say it. -- Voltaire
