If you have Sound recorder, you can edit MP3s. Mind you you have to convert them to WAV first and back to MP3 afterwards...

How large would a five minute song be in Soundrecorder!?!

What program would I need for the conversion back to mp3?

Are there anyother easier ways?

I'd suggest GoldWave. IIRC, you can edit MP3s to an extreme degree using it.

As someone who edits mp3's all the time, I shall impart some information to you.

Yes, you have to change an mp3 to wav file before you can edit it.
If you use Winamp(www.winamp.com), it comes with a function to change the mp3 into a wav file.
You can use sound recorder to edit the wav file(I use cool edit pro). The change the file back to an mp3, you can use Audiograbber from Xing(not sure on the website) or CDCopy (cdcopy.actadivina.com), which also makes mp3s from CD tracks.

Well, Winamp is free, of course. I don't know about the others.

I can say from experience that converting full MP3 songs into WAVs and opening them in Sound Recorder can be a problem. My computer crashes whenever I try it... :-)

What I think is fascinating is that if you have a 5:30 minute long mp3, it's correspondingly 5.3 mb too, if the frequenzy is 44KHz and the bitrate is the standard 128 Kb/s.
Any higher and the file-size rises. A song that's 1:35 long is 1.45mb big, (I just checked).
This means that you can SEE how long it is just by looking at the file-size. I don't think this is a coincedence.
Anyone know the history or creation of the mp3?

Winamp, Audiograbber, CDCopy are all free. The last two however are shareware, and need to be registered sometime.

I once opened up a similar sized wave file in Sound Recorder as well, but only after nearly 1 hour. I don't remember exactly how long, but it was long...and during that time, I couldn't do anything on the computer.

It took about 5 minutes to load the song up. But that's on a Celeron 500 with 64 MB RAM

I forget how big the one was that I tried to open. It came from a 12.5MB MP3. It crashed after a few minutes. But, I think I'd blame that on Win98SE. Like everything else... :-)

Indeed. This damned OS is annoying, isn't it, Tim?
