1. Ctrl + Shift + I to open the track import dialogue
2. Hit Ctrl + A to select the whole track
3. Ctrl + F6 to move over to next section of screen
4. tab over to selection start editing fields, and move left and right with cursor keys to find seconds section and type in starting value
5. tab over to selection end field and enter ending value there as well
6. hit Alt + F to activate file menu, and move down to export selection, and hit enter on it, and there you go

This is how I would do it using audacity 1.3.x that I have here, and I do this sort of thing relatively often, as well as using it to maybe apply an amplification effect to these clips to make them louder for ringtones.

Stay well

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Audacity - Extracting A Snippet From A CD Track


I'm having fits trying to extract a 20-second (or so) snippet from a CD track I've "ripped" from an album using CDEX.

I have the WAV file (although I could just as easily have converted the track into MP3 via CDEX), and now I want about a 15-20 second snip of the recording to load on to my Nokia N75 for a ring tone. The scenario I have in mind is something like this:

- open the wav file
- Instruct Audacity to start at 0:34 (seconds into the recording)
- Instruct Audacity to stop at 0:51 (second) into the recording
- Instruct Audacity to "save" that snippet of the recording as an MP3 file

How can this be done?
