Taking part of a song out of a mp3 file ?

Bubba

Hi,

What i want to do is take out a bit of a song which i like and use it as my ringtone on my phone. The song is something like 7mins long but the part i like starts at 2.50mins, is there any program that will let me take about 20 or 30 seconds out of the full song starting at whatever point i want?

Thanks,

Bubba

besweet (belight is a frontend) will convert it to wav. There are lots of wav editors out there. Windows includes one (sound recorder) though it is pretty terrible, it's probably fine for a ringtone.

Audacity should do exactly what you're looking for.
Having never used it myself I can't for definate, but have a look see anyway

Audacity (Free) or CoolEdit (pfft...moneh...pfft.) will do the job.
I've used Audacity briefly, and it will do the job and do it well - all in one go(i.e. No need for extra app's for this sort of job).
