MP3 Editor

Mr Flibble · Sun 22/08/2004 21:36:36

I'm sure someone has asked this before, but I searching here + Google and couldn't find to prog to meet my needs.

Basically, I need an mp3 editor that will let me cut and paste sections of the song. I found one on google, but it was a huge download, something like 12 megs. I'm on 28 kps. I don't want it THAT badly*.

I found a different one with a small lil' download, but it was Win98 or above. I just happen to run the sack-O-crap we called Windows95**.

Thanks.

*Please don't suggest that I get GetRight, because I already have it.

**Please don't suggest buying a new PC either and/or updating my software.

Are you stuck in 1996?

(You could TRY Audacity http://audacity.sf.net)

In the same way a man with no limbs or a wheel chair is stuck in his house.

Audacity is Win98 or higher. They have a list of outdated versions but they don't mention OS. It actually specifically mentions that it won't work on my PC. Which is a shame, because it looks just the job.

I am re-googling, this time, searching for a Win95 one specifically. But I would still prefer a tried and tested one.

If your target file should also be mp3, check out MP3DirectCut.
It lets you cut mp3 files without recompression.

Ah, this looks just the job. I shall give it a whirl.

I did actually find one on google, but it only let you import 1000 frames. Which is roughly 20 seconds.

Audacity...

Flibble, Have you ever considered getting a mini linux so thatyou can use modern proggies as well as have windows

Mr Flibble · Mon 23/08/2004 19:25:01

No. I have not.
I did condider getting that thing that lets you run multiple OS's, but I don't think I have the disk space or the processing power.

Well, Strazer's worked fine, except it won't let me cut a section from one file and paste it into another, which is a major bummer.

Get a program to convert the mp3 to wav.. and back again. Convert to wave, edit with sound editor, convert it back..

Or.. Get a new friggin PC! :-p

You dont need hard drive space with some versions of linux, theres ones that you can boot off of a cd or a disk

Eh, Linux doesn''t exactly scream "Better than Windows95!" At me. On the other hand, its better than a *shudder* mac.

But that scheme..converting back and forth. Thats GENIUS! Why didn't I think of that?*

*Retorical question. Answers will be greeted by mild scorn.
