David gave a link for a free program called MP3 Direct Cut for WE friendly
MP3 editing. I just want to say that this is the slickest thing since
banana peels. It is so easy to use, that I've been making my own phone
ringers with it, and it's eliminated about 20 steps from the way I used to
have to do it. That's only the beginning. There are tons of uses for this
program, and it's so easy.
Thank you, David, and thank you again!
Following is the string of emails about this program including the
link. By the way, if you choose the manual from the Questions menu, you
can read it in html. There is a link in it for keyboard shortcuts too.
TTFN,

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.

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.
