It is difficult to automatically process files unless there is something 
consistent use for making decisions. the best solution would be to buy 
an inexpensive sequencer program (you can get old versions of Cakewalk 
for very little on e-bay) and spend a little time learning it. there are 
also some free programs but i forget their names.

i write programs that process midi files and have one that shortens 
files for the purpose of making sample files. it could be modified 
pretty easily to split a file into several pieces but there are a few 
requirements. there has to be something recognizable at the points where 
you want the splitting to occur. this could be a period of silence of a 
duration that did not occur elsewhere. then you need to be able to 
decide what to call the new files made. the program could just give them 
sequential number names and could duplicate all the internal text 
information in all the files.

i also have a midi file player that i wrote that could be modified to 
allow you to split a file while it was playing. You could split the file 
right after the first song and then have two files, the first part and 
the rest in another file. Then you could repeat the process until you 
had split off all the individual songs. This might be more of a job to 
write but not a huge effort. I am traveling and finding that i have some 
time while waiting for others and getting bored. I could probably use 
this dead time to write a program.

Although I really recommend getting a simple sequencer and learning how 
to use it, if there is sufficient interest i will write the file 
splitting program.
