The command line tool allows for the automation of slicing up audio files. Running the SoundSlicer jar on windows you'll probably need java -jar soundslicer.jar …, running on linux and mac you should be able to just chmod the jar +x and then ./soundslicer.jar …

To specify the input file you simply use the -i option, then the path to the file you wish to slice. The -o option behaves differently, because multiple files can be created use the % symbol in the filename and it'll be replaced by the slice number, starting at zero. The % symbol is not required, but if missed off and multiple files get output, each slice will overwrite the next.

Below is the help output by the tool:

usage: soundslicer.jar -c <count> | -t <time time ...> [-f] [-h] -i <file>
       [-l] -o <path> [-s | -v]
Slices an audio file into smaller files.
 -c,--slice-count <count>     The number of slices to divide the audio by.
 -f,--miss-first              Do not output the first slice.
 -h,--help                    Print this text
 -i,--in <file>               The audio file to slice.
 -l,--miss-last               Do not output the last slice
 -o,--out <path>              The output pattern, using % to denote the
                              slice number.
 -s,--silent                  Do not output anything
 -t,--times <time time ...>   The times at which the splits should occur.
 -v,--verbose                 Output with more detail

soundslicer.jar -c 8 -i myInput.wav -o out/myOutput%.wav

Use the -c option to specify the number of slices the file should be split into, in this case eight.

soundslicer.jar -t 10000 20000 30000 -i myInput.wav -o out/myOutput%.wav

Use the -t option to specify the times to split the slices at, in this case 10 seconds, 20 seconds and 30 seconds. Times are specified in milliseconds.

soundslicer.jar -t 10000 -l -i myInput.wav -o myOutput.wav

This would normally slice the file into two, using the -l option will stop the second slice getting outputted.

soundslicer.jar -t 20000 -f -i myInput.wav -o myOutput.wav

This supposes that the file is 30 seconds long and does the same as above but not outputting the first slice using the -f option.
