While the board is still relatively slow, I need to jack this thread (sorry ninj) to ask for some techie type advice.

I'm currently trying to take a long mp3 track (basically a whole 90 minute cassette burned to my PC) and edit it to lots of smaller tracks which I can then burn onto CD.

I've tried with Audacity but have become seriously baffled with all the different buttons and options. I just need something where I can play back the track, highlight any section I want to record, and export it as a wav or wma file.

My big problem (apart from being an idiot) is that the recording is taken from the radio and there are no obvious breaks in the recording that I can use for cutting and pasting purposes.

Does anyone know a really good, idiot-proof, preferably free, program I can use? It's getting close to Christmas and I need to get this rather enormous project finished, as it's a present for someone.

Thank you in advance anyone who sat through all that, and apologies to ninj for stealing his thread.

# can't think of a free solution off the top of my head
I suspect nero might enable you to split a long mp3 into tracks, been a while since I used it though.

no doubt some other folks will chime in

and forget audacity, it's shite.

# thank you for that
I'm beginning to agree with you about audacity.

A google search turns up a few likely candidates, but I just wondered if anyone had any first-hand knowledge about this stuff.

Can't go far wrong with asking clever b3ta-types.

# can't help you there, I normally use WaveLab or SoundForge, but they're not free
I think any of the programs a google search brings up should be sufficient for simple cutting tasks though

# There should be MP3 cutters available out there
foobar2000 can do it but it's a nerd program written for nerds like me, it's really user-unfriendly for anything but playback.

The problem with doing things the way you're suggesting is the loss of quality -- each time you save an MP3 as an MP3 it gets passed through all the filters again and loses quality each time, same the copy of a copy of a tape was significantly worse than the original tape. So if you've saved a stream as an MP3 in the first place, ideally you want to avoid cutting it up and REsaving it as an MP3. (If you saved it as a WAV then ignore this, your approach is fine and I'd suggest get hold of Goldwave, it's shareware but fully functional. It's like Audacity but not designed by locking a million dorrito-addicted monkeys in a room and forcing them to ejaculate over a computer keyboard. I fucking hate Audacity, it's gash. Goldwave's really nice though.)

You avoid the quality loss problem with a cutting program. I seem to recall that there's one called mp3split that might do the trick.
