Hi Tony, I think it's excellent. As far as help files go I don't think there is 
one, but it's simple to use. There are only a couple of options that come to 
mind that someone not acquainted with audio processing may not understand, but 
as the majority of options are self explanatory one wouldn't be needed. Most 
people would have come across terms like cut, copy and paste. To use those 
options you just treat the audio as if you were editing text, using the markers 
to set the area to be affected.
  I've never found a programme which does as much as it does in as 
straightforward a way. I promise you, you won't have to learn to use it as you 
may audacity or goldwave.
  Incidentally, andy's post reminded me of something I hadn't mentioned. Open 
with Wavepad should be on the context menu of your audio files.
  Let me know how you get on,
                    John.
   
  It really is a simple point and shoot programme.

  Hi John, 

  Perhaps one final question from me on this. 

  Is there a Read Me file with it and how good do you find it? 

  Thanks, 

  Tony Sweeney

    Hi Tony, yes. It's a great little programme. When you first install it 
it'll work as the pay version, till the trial time for the pay version is 
coming to an end, then you get a popup inviting you to buy the pay version. If 
you say no it carries on working, just disabling the extra functions.
      That doesn't make much difference though. All of what you'd generally use 
is in the free version. I use it a lot to edit stuff downloaded from IPlayer, 
to cut off the surplus. All you need to do is to set the markers at the 
beginning of the section you want to cut, press enter and it's done. You can 
also copy and paste blocks in the same way. You can also super impose one file 
over another using the mix file function, and insert a file at the beginning, 
the end or current position.
      The only slight negative I've found with it is moving backwards or 
forwards. It's quite slow.
      Good luck with it,
                        John.

      Hi John 

      I too am interested in that programme. 

      I presume you copy the file you wish to edit from in to Wavepad
        and work away as you described earlier? 

        Thanks,

        Hi Barbara, editing a file in it is as simple as editing text in 
notepad. To
        do what you describe, saving a section as a separate file do this:
        1 Play or fast forward to the beginning of the clip you want to save. 
On the
        edit menu go to set first position and press enter. Then play or fast 
        forward to the end of the section, go to the edit menu and press enter 
on 
        set second position.
          Then go to the edit menu and press enter on save select region as and 
        press enter. Give it whatever name you want and save.
                            John.
