Which one do you recomend? I am sick of the normal way, converting to wav, cutting in sound recorder, reconvert!!

Which program do you recommend? and is it free or not?

Thans!

PS: I used the search but with no use!

i have to agree with djlg that soundforge probably the best and i think u can get demo, but thats more for an advanced person to use the other other app mentioned in ok for a quick job ive used it in uni once

mp3trim works fine for cutting mp3s and adding fade-in and fade-outs. It's free and very easy to use. just do a quick search.
resistance is futile.

If your sole purpose is to cut the mp3s then dedicated mp3 cutters are the best for the job as they don't do unnecessary re-conversion to wav then back to mp3 during the process. Aside from the fact that the entire re-conversion slows things down, it also degrades the quality of the mp3. As they say "Don't kill a mosquito with a cannon"
resistance is futile.

I use mp3trim,it runs with winamp which i use all the time anyway. Free version has a limited max length of song to just under 8 minutes,its a cool app,and very simple to use :-D Most of the tones on my site have been made with this ;-)

If you're a Mac user [or a Windows user running 2000/xp], you can use iTunes very successfully - details follow:

[these instruction relate to the Mac vsn of iTunes but I guess the menus are the same for the Windows vsn]

1. In iTunes, select the song you want to trim for your ringtone.

2. Use Get Info and select the Options tab. You can then set the start and end times for the song.

3. Close the Get Info window and then under Advanced menu select convert selection to MP3. It will create a new song in the library with only the selected portion of the song. You may need to go find it in the library. The conversion uses your MP3 bitrate setting in the Preferences for import.

**Remember to reset the start and end times of the original song afterwards**

NB: it may be safer to use a [legit] copy of an mp3 to cut up as I lost a couple of songs doing this, or at least, ended up with 30sec vsns of them!!

Hope this helps
