Tony - highlight the file you want to work with. Press the application key, and 
arrow to edit with wavepad sound editor. Hit the enter key to select this 
option, and wavpad will open, it might take a few second to load, then press 
the space bar to begin playing the file. go to the menues to make your 
selection for what you wish to do with the file, most of what you need will be 
under the edit menu.

HTH -

  Hi John & Andy, 

  I downloaded the programme and it went to the my documents folder. 

  I played a song which is in that same folder, hitt the apps key but while it 
saw Wavepad it wouldn't do anything for me! 

  I wonder if I should move Wavepad to a different area?

    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.
