Hey, that is what I am working on in "What in the Sound Can that be?" You may want to check it out. There is a good link there.

Yes, is it in mp3 format? First you'll have to convert it to .wav (most likely) and then cut it out. This can be done easily with freeware, try webattack.com

You don't have to convert it to wav. There are plenty of programs that can manipulate or edit mp3 files as well as loads of others. The ones I know of are for pay though.

Or do it the easy way, open Sound Recorder (Start > Accessories > Entertainment) Start your MP3 player software, play the song, hit record in sound recorder at the point you want, hit stop when its over, voila, no need to download extra software.

Every once in a while I find a freeware program that deals directly with mp3s, but it's normally really, really bad. I recomend converting to wav first.
WinAmp will do this btw, but you'll have to get something else to cut out sections, plenty of freeware programs do a fine job of that once it's in .wav format.

That's why I fix computers for a living (Okay, so I used to). I think of stuff no one else does Posts: 3003 | Registered: Oct 2004

Kwea, Two people recommended it on the other thread. It's an open source audio editing tool available on sourceforge.net. Here's the link.

I use Goldwave (fully functional shareware). You might have to download an mp3 codec, but it's available for free.

lem, yeah, just select the part of the wav that you want and then make a new wav. edit: errr...I mean drag the mouse over the part you want and use the, I think it's the record function. I don't actually have audacity where I am right now. I'll download it and see.
edit the second: Ok, select the section you wnat with the mouse. You can check it by hitting play. That'll only play the selected part. Then go to the file menu and click on export selection as a wav. Poof, there ya go.

I use Magix Video Deluxe it works better as a music editor than a video editor ( I got it for 99 cents + S&H on Ebay! ). It let's you save it in a wav format but I am looking for something that converts wavs into midis actually.

As far as I know, you cannot convert a .wav to a .midi (although you can convert a MIDI file to a WAV file), mainly because the two types of file are actually completely different. A MIDI file is not actually a sound recording.

To follow up with Tom, midi is a lot like electronic sheet music, where mp3s, wavs, etc, are digital representations of an actual performance/recording.

Goldwave is awesome. I used it to do my Buffy In a Nutshell tracks when I was making a copy of the musical (which I then went out an purchased AS SOON AS IT BECAME AVAILABLE. I'm just too big of a Buffy fan, and couldn't even wait for the official to come out.)

I use Audacity which is completely free, and works well for simple projects like what you are describing.
