Split long tracks for burning to multiple CDs

I recently bought some audio books from audlble.com for a roadtrip to vegas, but quickly realized that the 3 hour book wouldn't fit on a single CD, and there isn't any software to break up an audible file (.aa) into smaller pieces. It turns out iTunes has built in track 'clipping' capability.

The trick is to use the File -> Get Info -> Options -> Start Time and End Time values to specify what section of the track is played, or in this case, burned.

This is also great when making a mix CD with a song that has 10 minutes of silence in it. It's easy to trim the silence without having to use another program to chop up the file.
