I have an Mp3 which I got from KaZaA, the person who recorded the song left
the recorder on till it recorded the next song which is highly X rated. Both
songs are in the same MP3 file. My question is is there a way to edit an mp3
without using a microphone and wav recorder? I have tried everything even
Easy CD Creater 4 to try to convert the file to a wav to make it editable,
it wont allow me to chose extract. The actual file size is 11.6Mb or
12,245,138 bytes, but thats because those two songs are in the same file.
This song is hard to find and I would like to save just the first 4:30
minutes of the MP3 not the whole 10:00 minutes. I would gladly pass the file
to anyone who can edit it to cut off when the first song stops, but I ask
that no microphones be used to record it or methods be used that lower the
quality. Be warned though, the second song is sexually exsplicit and the "F"
word is used repeatedly.

You can convert the mp3 to a wav file using a program such as Music Match
Jukebox
Then load the wav file into any wav editor such as the one that comes with
windows and delete all unwanted parts and save it.
Then convert it back to an mp3 using a program such as Music Match Jukebox

This process will take about 1 min to do and converting it to a wav then
back to an mp3 will not loose any quality if you know what your doing when
you convert.

You should not be downloading mp3s from sources such as audacity and kazaa,
for the Recording Industry Assosciation of America (The RIAA) Is requesting
that the United States Government order the ISP's to hand over names of
those downloading mass amounts of mp3s, and some companies such as earthlink
have replied and given the RIAA names of their mass mp3 downloaders

no, they are not, if I were to go downstairs when I'm not ill in bed and
make a simple tune on my guitar and with my midi keyboard then share it on
kazaa, that would be 100% legal and also not copyrighted unless I wished the
music I create to be so.

Verizon was also ordered to give out the name of at least one customer
who was sharing lots of files. IMO, use Kazaa and other P2P file sharing
networks at your own risk. The days of free loading off of Napster are
no more and now it is just an ongoing battle between the
traders/downloaders and the RIAA/MPAA. There *are* legal and copyright
free/royalty free things that can be found on P2P networks, but most
things being downloaded and shared are illegal. I don't think the Feds
will come knocking on your door if you share a few MP3s, but you may be
tracked and fined (one college student was fined $12K USD for simply
making a search engine that allowed others to find and download MP3s on
his university's network or something).

Yes I am well aware of this, which is why I do not want to go back to KaZaA
to download another copy, I had upgraded to KaZaA's 2.5 P2P browser and it
installed to many back-ground hidden programs that ran at startup. So I no
longer have any version of KaZaA on my PC. The Mp3 was something I
downloaded a while ago, before the RIAA got strickter. Also there are
licenses available for private uses.
Think of it this way. A DJ who goes around playing at a wedding or party
pays a one time fee for his CD, but makes money off that song everytime he
palys it at an event and pays nothing to the recording industry, even though
that one song may have made the event an entertaining one. Example: how many
DJed events have you been to where the DJ palys Marcia Griffith's "Electric
Slide" or The Village People's "Y M C A" So people group dance? Those songs
make a DJ a good entertainer and he gets more business as a public
entertainer.

I wonder if they're going to sue some prehistoric man for unauthorized

Does the trial verion of this do the same, I know this program is also
available for $9.95 a month. I hate having alot of players on my system,
because they all fight to be the default player. I reformatted my Hard drive
recently and finally got rid of Windows Media Player 9.0 and do not want 20
players messing with my systems configuration just for one song.

MP3 is a file format, not a song, hence an MP3 file in and of itself is
not illegal. It's only illegal if it is an unauthorized copy of
sound/song. And there are such things as legal MP3 songs that artists
hand out all the time.

This idea of MP3 as file format instead of song is a vast difference
that the music industry (and you, apparently :P) have a really hard time
grasping, which is causing most of this trouble in the first place.

yes it will.
The trial lasts for ever and only stops you from creating your own mp3's
from a CD and keeping it in CD quality.

the wav to mp3 / mp3 to wav converter is fully functional and will keep it
at what ever quality you set it at.

Uninstall Kazaa and all the background programs.
Go to kazzalite.tk and download that. It happens to be a version of kazaa
without all the spyware and adware.
