Hello Jeff and list: Thanks for attempting to help me go directly to a
certain spot in a file, using MP3 Direct Cut! However I must be dense (or
maybe Jaws 14 works differently with this program) but I see no way to get
from one line to another! In other words, it says something like 630.00
(then it says Now..then gives the number! But there seems to be no way to
get Jaws to get on the number I want! I hope I've explained this clearly
enough! In an effort to not tie up the list with this, if you'd rather
contact me offlist, you may do so; email is tomca...@comcast.net
Thanks,
Tom Kaufman

Hi, Tom,
I'll take a stab at what you might do different.
Control-P brings up the edit box with the time info in it.
The first number is the total length of the file shown in minutes, seconds
and fractions of a second. Hours would be shown if necessary.
The second number is the current position also listed in minutes, seconds
and fractions of seconds.
It is the current time that you need to edit. Be careful not to remove the
punctuation marks like apostrophe which delineate the minutes from second,
etc.
After editing, press Enter to jump to the new time location.
HTH,
Jeff

Am replying to an older post; I saw where it was possible to go directly
to a certain part in a file with MP3 Direct Cut. If I understood the
instructions correctly, one types in the number of where you want to be in
the file; then presses enter..I did this..but it did nothing! Am I
leaving out something? Does this work differently with Windows XP than it
does with 7? Like I said, I thought I had followed the instructions that
were given in order to accomplish this, but no soap! I did see the length
of the file and where I was, but when I typed in the number of where I
wanted to be, nothing happened! So maybe there's a problem with how I
typed in the value or something?

Hi, Kevin,
I wrote up these instructions for using MP3 DirectCut a year or more ago.
I think it will answer most if not all of your questions. If something
isn't answered, just email me about it.
HTH,
Jeff
MP3 Direct Cut is a free direct mp3 editor, splitter, cutter and
recorder.
Download it from
http://www.mpesch3.de
Here are some notes for keyboard shortcuts for basic operation of this
program:
Play and Stop by using the SpaceBar.
During playback, the F8 key will increase playback speed and F7 will
decrease it.
Rewind and fast forward using cursor left and right or page-up and
page-down.
The latter two keys move in larger increments than the first two.
The number of frames each pair moves can be set via the configuration
menu.
The Home key moves to the beginning of the file.
The End key moves to the end.
One can move to a specific location in a file by time.
Use Ctrl-P to bring up an editable text box showing the total time of the
file and the current time location.
Edit the current time location to where you wish to move, then press
Enter.
How to mark beginning and end points of a selection for deletion, saving
as a separte file, etc:
While playback is stopped,
Use the letter b to mark the beginning of a selection
Use the letter n to mark the end of a selection
When beginning and end points are set, use the Up-arrow and Down-arrow
keys to jumpt to each respectively.
The following commands use the numbers row above the letter keys,
not the numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard.
These commands move by frame. One frame is roughly a 38th of a second:
1: Move the beginning mark of a selection one frame to the left
2: Move the beginning mark of a selection one frame to the right
3: Move the end mark of a selection one frame to the left
4: Move the end mark 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 beginning mark 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 end mark of a selection
F9: Plays a portion of the file around the selection as if the selection
had been deleted
To remove a selection one can press the delete key.
This does not touch the MP3 file.
It just modifies an MP3DirectCut index.
Therefore, deletes and cuts are made quickly.
There are also menu options and shortcut keys to save a selection into a
different file.
For instance, Ctrl-E will save the selection with the opportunity
