>> Here are some shortcuts for this fine program, which may be useful to

>>
>> b: Marks the beginning of a selection
>>
>> n: marks the end of a selection
>>
>> Note, that one can have several selections simultaniously in one file.
>> To activate a specific selection, one can use the menu system of
>> Mp3DirectCut.
>>
>> The following commands use the numbers row above the letter keys, not

>>
>> 1: Move the left margin of a selection one frame to the left
>>
>> 2: Move the left margin of a selection one frame to the right
>>
>> 3: Move the right margin of a selection one frame to the left
>>
>> 4: Move the right margin of a selection one frame to the right
>>
>> With the following keys, one can exactly hear, where the margins of a
>> selection are:
>>
>> F5: Plays the two seconds before the left margin of a selection
>>
>> F6: Plays the first two seconds of a selection
>>
>> F7: Plays the last two seconds of a selection
>>
>> F8: Plays the two seconds after the right margin of a selection
>>
>> F9: Plays the file around the selection as if the block had been cut out
>>
>> To cut a selection one can press the delete key. This does not touch the
>> MP3 file. It just modifies an MP3DirectCut index. Therefore, cuts
>> can be made quickly.
>>
>> There are also menu options and shortcut keys to save a selection into a
>> different file.
>>
>> To split an MP3 file, which consists of a complete album, one can use
>> the pause detection feature, which can be reached via the menu system.
>> It will set a marker before each song. These markers are actually
>> selections with a length of zero. To check the markers, one can go from
>> one to the other with Control cursor right and Control cursor left. The
>> file can then be split according to the markers. Or one can save a cue
>> sheet file or an MP3 DirectCut project file. Both would contain the
>> markers. With these marker files, one can easily find certain positions
>> in an MP3 file.
>>
>> To go to a specific time position, Control-p can be used. The edit box
>> is a bit strange, don't delete the words in it, just modify the file
>> position. One has to leave the apostrophes, which seperate hours minutes
>> and seconds alone. The program needs these apostrophes
>>
>> Then, there are the recording shortcuts, which I mentioned in my first
>> message about MP3DirectCut:
>>
>> r: Opens the record dialog, in which sighted people can adjust the
>> recording level
>>
>> p: Starts the recording, when the recording dialog is open
>>
>> As much as I know, there's no pause function in the program.
>>
>> s: Stops the recording.
>>
>> These were just a couple of the shortcuts and functions of this powerful
>> program, with which one can also normalize, fade-in fade-out and so
>> on and so forth.
