So, I'm usually apt enough with computers. But right now I'm a big old pack of failure.

I'm just looking to cut down an mp3 and be able to save that portion as it's own thing for sampling. Likely to just use an iPod to play it, so it doesn't have to be fancy.

What software do you recommend?

cooledit? cdex? audacity?

Thank you wevwund, I used Audacity because it was free and does what I need it to do.

personally i love Cakewalk's Sonar for pretty much everything audio

for your uses audacity or sound forge maybe

cool edit is better than sound forge. cakewalk is alittle too much for me.

Mixcraft 4 isn't bad for that stuff.

adobe audition

You can download wavepad free from download.com it will work for what you need and isn't as complicated as sonar

depends on how much you need to warp / manipulate the shit

I assume you're on Windows
