Need program recommendations (mp2 to mp3 converter

I can find a few names on google but I'd like to know if it makes a difference what prgoram I use.  I'm trying to extract music from a live concert mpeg (nothing illegal and for my own personal use only).  I already have it in mp2 form (I used TMPGEnc if there's a better program).  I'd like to get as high a quality as possible (ie, as close to the original file's audio as possible).

I need a program to transcode the mp2 into an mp3.

Then I need a program to split the mp3 into multiple files.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I'd split the MP2 before transcoding. This way you don't mess up the bit reservoir of MP3. Transcoding can be done via "LAME --mp2input". I don't have a link handy for splitting MP2, though (I'm sure there are apps out there which can do that)

Why don't you just make a cue sheet for the mp2 and use that for playback? This way you wouldn't have to alter the existing file (and audio data) at all.

I want to put the songs on my ipod.  On the comp the mp2 or even the video will work.

Do you have specific recommendations for mp2 splitters?  Does it matter which one?
