I have a question about mp3 files...

[SkyDaddy7]

I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question so if it is not please move it.

What program do I need to edit mp3 files?

For instance, I have made several mp3 files from You Tube videos (Just the audio from a video)...So, if I have a 3min mp3 file how would I go about cutting out the section of audio I want & creating a new mp3 file?

I am sure there are programs that do this but is there a FREE one??

Thanks!

3. Here's what I use. It's small and easy.

fast mpeg audio editing
mp3DirectCut
All you need to cut your mp3

mp3DirectCut is a fast and extensive audio editor and recorder for compressed mp3. You can directly cut, copy, paste or change the volume with no need to decompress your files for audio editing. This saves encoding time and preserves the original quality, because nothing will be re-encoded. The built in recorder creates mp3 on the fly from your audio input. Using Cue sheets, pause detection or Auto cue you can easily divide long files.

7. I use

I use DownloadHelper, a Firefox extension, to download Youtube videos to my hard drive. Then I use Winff (FFMPEG) to strip out just the audio.
