Terry, when I do this[CTRL right arrow] JAWS keeps saying 00! I tried Peter's 
suggestion too, but having used left bracket for a start marker, I couldn't 
then get the file to play backwards from the end to ajust the end marker! -

  Hi Andy

  Well, the only way I know how to do it, is by first of all playing the track, 
and counting in my head the seconds.  e.g. I wanted to cut off the first 12 
seconds off the beginning of the track.  Using the right arrow key with 
control, jaws announced the seconds by which it was moving forward.  It went 
just over two seconds with each key stroke, so I kept pressing the key 
combination, until it reached 12.4, then I used the trim option.  I then used 
the space bar to check, and it was just about perfect.

    Hi Terry - How do you know when to release the control right arrow key 
combination? I start the track playing, use F7 to pause where I want to split 
the file, hold down CTRL right arrow, then do the trim, but find it has trimmed 
off beyond where I had paused the track! I also tried holding down the CTRL 
key, and just tapping right arrow once, but this didn't go far enough in to the 
file! -

      Hi Andy and Kevin

      I've got it now.  Andy, using Kevin's original method, select edit, then 
trim, then press space bar to listen to the track, and you will see that the 
beginning of the track has been trimmed off.

      Thanks to the both of you.

      Terry

        Alternatively, use shift + right arrow to move the start marker to the 
point where you want the file to start.  Select Save Selection from the file 
menu and you're done.  This assumes you're wanting to remove a portion from the 
start of the file.

        If you want to remove a portion from the end of the file it's a very 
similar approach but you use control + shift + left arrow to move the end 
marker inwards to the point at which you want your file to end before choosing 
Save Selection from the file menu.

        You could also move the end marker right to the point at which you want 
to remove the starting segment and press delete.  By doing this, you've 
selected a small portion between start and end markers.  Once deleted, you can 
choose save from the file menu.

        You can use spacebar repeatedly to listen back to what you currently 
have selected so you can be sure what you will be saving when you've set your 
start or end markers.  There's an undo option in the edit menu so you can back 
out any mistakes and try again without doing any harm to your file.

        As you can see, there's many ways to achieve a simple edit using 
Goldwave so it's just a case of having a play and seeing what works best for 
you.

        Regards.

          Terry - don't know if this was addressed to me, but will this help? 
Start the song playing, when you reach where you want to split the file, pause 
the track, and go in to the edit menu and under q points is the drop marker 
option, hit enter on this, and a marker will have been placed at the point 
where you paused the file. Now go back to the q points menu and hit enter on 
split file, then tab through to make your selection, and hit enter on the start 
button or split file button whatever it's called.

          HTH -

            Hi

            Andy, could I mail you off list about this, as its probably not 
strictly access related.

            I'm trying to figure out how to cut off part of a track at the 
beginning of a song.  I've done it before, but can't remember how.   Just 
wanted to cut off about ten seconds off the beginning of a song.

            Thanks

            Terry
