taking only a portion of a sound file? (best program?)

Hey everyone, what’s the best way (and program) to take a 3-4 second clip out of an MP3 or other sound file?

On some computers, the program Windows Movie Maker is already included. Go into the start menu and click on Programs, then go to Accessories, and if it’s on your computer then click it. If not, then- don’t.

Audacity is a free audio editor that has gotten good reviews. I have not actually used it so I can’t comment on how well it works. Their home page has more info about the program.

I just downloaded Audacity and I’m really pleased with it. Thanks a lot for the link John. Now I can cut bits out of songs and fade out and stuff like that to fit great songs into not-long-enough unicycling videos. It’s easy to use.

i second the vote for cool edit, i have had cool edit 2000 and cool edit pro, both very useful and relatively easy to use
