Hi Gene
I've listen to the section on Audacity and it is very useful. Nice reminder
when you are getting started.
I hope this isn't too off topic. I'm now listening to your second section
MP3 Direct Cut. I can't install the program as someone set the compute up
without me being administrator. Does anyone know how I can get around this,
as I would like to be able to choice between audacity and MP3Direct Cut.
Love
Lynn

It's unfortunate that Dropbox appears to have made its public links so much
longer. the link I sent the list in my last message is one many people can
probably use. However, later today, I'll make the link even shorter. for
now, try the link I sent and see if you can download the file.
