Does anyone know of any freeware like MPTrim that "trims" MP3s longer than 6
minutes? I like this program but have many MP3s that are longer than 6 to
7 minutes. What one is best in your opinion(s)?

Thanks. :o)

Check out Audacity, which is open source freeware.

==================
That doesn't work by itself. The website says it doesn't work with Norton
Protected Recycle Bin for some reason. I have that on my PC but will see if
I can disable it. It also doesn't say what Lame version is needed. I'm
using WXP-Home/SP1. I downloaded Lame 3.96.01. I assume that's the one I
would need. Do both go into "one folder" to work? Do I just install Lame
and Audacity finds it itself? Since I already have CDex which uses Lame
does that mean a copy of Lame is already on my PC?

I downloaded this one. This is just a cutter. I need something to *fade*
the ends off those MP3s someone else cut before I downloaded them. They're
all over 7 minutes long and all abruptly just cut-off. MP3Trim fades these
ends out but doesn't do Mp3s over 6 minutes. Do you know of something that
will FADE the ends of long Mp3s?

TIA! :-)

I don't know which LAME I need for this one, and don't want to install
another version since there already is a LAME on my PC. I don't know
if they would conflict.

one.

You can use the same Version of LAME or you can use a newer Version of
LAME the choice is yours. As far as conflicts go if they are different
versions, you don't need to worry, LAME is a standalone win32 executable
with no external dependencies.

FWIW: Their is nothing like Trim for editing .mp3s and fade in/fade out.

Ok, thanks Mel. It's the FADE feature that I really need.

They already told you: Audacity. For that matter, most any wave editor.
Note they edit waves which means MP3s are decoded/edited/re-encoded.
Your alternative to that is a $$ware version of MP3Trim.

mp3directcut will also do fades; just "set begin" and "set end", then
hit "gain" and choose "fade out." The longer the time period, the more
gradual the fade.

Good luck

$ The only Mp3 editor that worked is MP3Trim.

$ I saw no feature in Audacity to cause them to FADE at the end. I'm not
even sure it was working right with the LAME on my PC.

$ Which I'm considering....

OK Dave, I have it open now. I clicked on Set Begin and Set End. It's
playing the MP3 but there is no "FADE OUT" to select. Where is that
selection found?

Which is also no surprise. Nevertheless, it will if you pointed it to
your LAME.dll
