What is the Split Audio Endpoint?

The Split Audio endpoint of FFMPEGAPI.net allows you to divide an audio track into a specified number of equal-duration segments. This feature is particularly useful for podcasters, content creators, and developers who need to manipulate audio files programmatically.

Using the Split Audio endpoint is straightforward. You need the URL of the audio file you want to split and specify the number of parts you wish to create. By default, the API splits the audio into 2 parts, but you can specify any number between 2 and 20.
