Software for trimming silence at start of mp3's

Zascar · 2008-01-22 20:44:05

A lot of the mp3's I use have a gap at the start of a few seconds, I have to wind it forward and set the queue point. I remember a mate said he had software that trimmed it automatically for him. Anyone know what does it? Yes I know I can use Audacity etc but it can be a pain in the ass. What is the easiest way to do it?

I'd use Direct mp3 cut, no reencoding so it's fast.

Theres probably other tools out there.
http://www.mptrim.com/ aswell I haven't used that.
Google has loads of others.

for the record, mp3s generally always contain a bit of silence at the start, its a little thing about the format, dunno why
