Hi, Jim,
This is easily done with MP3 Direct Cut.
1. Open the program.
2. type Ctrl-o to open an MP3 file to edit.
3. Shift-Tab to get into a standard Windows file browsing and open
dialogue box. Locate the file you want and press enter.
4. Press the spacebar to toggle playback on and off.
5. Use the right and left arrows to move ahead or back in small
increments; or use page-up and page-down for larger increments.
6. When you are at the starting point of the section to remove, stop
playback and press the B key.
7. Resume playback until you reach the end point of the section to
remove, stop playback and press the letter N.
8. Now you can finely adjust the start and end points in this way.
Use the F1 and F2 keys to move the start point back or ahead in very
small increments, like 1 32nd of a second. The F3 and F4 will do this
for the end point.
9. Use the F5 and F6 keys to review the audio just prior and
following the start point; likewise use F7 and F8 to review the audio
just prior and following the end point.
You can use the F9 key to listen to what the audio will sound like if
the selected audio were deleted.
10. When ready, press the delete key to remove the selected audio.
11. Ctrl-Z will undo the last editing if need be.
12. Save the edited file with Ctrl-W and follow the prompts to confirm.
That's it. MP3 Direct Cut is really a fast and easy program for minor
editing like this.
If you wish to clear this file and open another for editing just use Ctrl-F4.
HTH,
Jeff

Hi again everyone,
I could really use some help here. I didn't really get an answer last time.
I'll explain the situation.
I have Total Recorder right now, and unless I can use something
different, I'll have to use it.
I have a song I need to edit. There is about fifteen to twenty
seconds, in the middle of the song, that I need to cut out. So,
what I've done is the following:
I first began playing the song. When I got to the place I wanted to
cut, I did a Shift L to mark the front of the spot to select. It
finished and then I did a Shift R to end the selection.
I then hit the Delete key, but nothing happened when I tried saving
the file again.
What am I doing wrong?
I also just got the Direct Cut mp3 program, so if this can be done,
I could use some directions. I've been trying to do this for a week now.
Thanks.
Jim
