-wavbreaker is a tool to take a wave file and break it up into
-multiple wave files. It makes a clean break at the correct
-position to burn the files to an audio CD without any dead
-space between the tracks. It will only read wave files, so use
-an appropriate tool to convert Ogg, MP3, etc. files and then
-break them up. The GUI displays a summary of the entire wave
-file being worked on at the top. There is also a command line
-tool to merge wave files together (wavmerge). This tool will
-only work on files that are alike. For example, 44100 khz
-sample rate, 16-bit sample size, etc. (use sox to convert files
-first if necessary).

+This application's purpose in life is to take a WAV file and break it
+up into multiple WAV files. It makes a clean break at the correct
+position to burn the files to an Audio CD without any dead air between
+the tracks.
+
+wavbreaker now also directly supports breaking up MP3s without
+re-encoding meaning it's fast and there is no generational
+loss. Decoding (using mpg123) is only done for playback and waveform
+display.
+
+The GUI displays a waveform summary of the entire file at the top. The
+middle portion displays a zoomed-in view that allows you to select
+where to start playing and where it will make the break. The bottom
+portion contains a list of track breaks. You may change file names and
+uncheck parts that you do not want to have written out to disk when
+saving.
+
+There is also a command line tool wavmerge to merge WAV files
+together. If you download a show and don't like how it was tracked,
+you can merge them together with wavmerge and then break them back up
+with wavbreaker. The wavmerge tool will only work on files that have
+the same format (for example, 44.100 Hz sample rate, 16-bit sample
+size, etc.).
