You have to download the lame MP3 encoder to get it to export directly to MP3 files - think there's a link to it in that tutorial page I sent you last time, and it also tells you how to implement it.

Apart from that, Ctrl + Shift + I would let you import the said file, and you would then be in the selection section of it's interface, Ctrl + F6 will take you to the next relevant section, tab to the start and end controls and move left and right into the relevant HH, MM, SS sections and type in the values there, but tab in and out to double the settings/selections.

You would then, on the file menu, choose export selection, and there you go.

I also initially just let it export .wav files and then converted them myself, but if you look at that tutorial page, and search it for lame, you'll find the mention of downloading and installing the mp3 encoding.

Stay well

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Using Audacity


OK, I've heard from members of this list that Audacity is the way to go insofar as getting slices of audio files. How would one go about taking a slice of an MP3 file, say from second 43 to second 58, and saving it in a 15-second sound clip of MP3 persuasion?

Does the MP3 encoder need to be installed? If so, where one be gotten?

Is this something a totally blind user could do? Are there JAWS scripts to facilitate the interface for Audacity? I'm finding that there's a lot of buttons on the screen that are not labeled.
