Well, you didn't specify which format your audio file is in. But, in cased, you are talking MP3, there is a nice, free of charge, software called MP3DirecCut. Just search for it, on the net. I do hold it as quite accessible. Basically, here is how you operate it.
1. Open the software. 2. Press Ctrl-O, and look up/enter your filename 3. ppress SPACE, to start the playback of the song (or to stop it) 4. press B to set the Beginning of the cut, and N to set the Ending mark of the cut. 5. Press CTRL-E to save the CUT, and give it a specific name. Use HOME, to go to the beginning of the file; END to go to the very end of the file; and CTRL in combination with Left-Right-arrow, to fast forward/rewind through the sound file. You want it easy, you get it easy... :) Have been using mp3DirectCut for several years, and several sound editing projects. It even can Normalize the volume of a file, find and cut long pauses within the file, change between mono/stereo, etc; all without having to decode/encode the file, with the risk of loosing sound quality. The quality you put in, is the one you get out. Wonderful, small software. And, again, free of charge for private users... :) In case, you don't find it, let me know, and I will scroll my archieves for the download link. ----- Original Message ----- From: Juan Gonzalez To: GW-Micro Sent: Saturday, December 05, 2009 7:05 AM Subject: audio hi every one. I am looking for a free audio program that will allow me to do the following task and that is window-eyes friendly. I need it to make audio files shorter. I mean that I need to make songs shorter to put on my power point. I used to use creator but it would not tell me how much it would cut. I also used to use sound recorder in windows xp but now with vista it is so much different. Please let me know if any one knows of any audio program that will work with window-eyes. thank you very much. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
