My song is too long

[JanieB]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a freeware or low-cost program to edit music? Maybe a time limited demo I can download? The music I'm using for my slide show is over 6 minutes. I already have 57 slides, and that's taking up less than 2 minutes! If I continue the fast pace through the whole song, the presentation is going to be HUGE. Plus, I'm not sure I can come up with enough pictures for the whole thing.

There's a long instrumental piece at the end of the song. It should be easy to cut that out and maybe fade the end of it. I hate to buy an expensive program, since I probably won't ever use it again.

Thanks for your help.

Hi, Janie,

The only low-price audio-editing programs that come to mind are "Audacity" and "Acoustica". "Cool Edit 2000" is a little more pricey, but will do almost everything. You can probably find them through an internet search. "Cool Edit" has a free trial download, but it puts a tone on to discourage serious use. It's fun to try it out, though. Good luck!

Thanks! I'll give those a try.

Hello,

MP3trim is freeware and you can cut an mp3 down

You can have it lower the volume at the end so you don't

come to a sudden stop. The file size it (206 kb)

It is easy to use. I used it when I cut the sound down

on my slide show "Freeze Frame"

Thanks cc. That sounds like exactly what I'm looking for - free AND easy to use!
