Steve, The files are coming to me in an mp-3 format. My job is to excerpt certain portions of the audio file and save it to a CD to be used for training purposes. For example: I might be required to cut one or more unrelated clips out of a recorded phone conversation. Will goldWave do this? and do I still need the LAME plug-in? -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of shparker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, December 15, 2007 1:51 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Excerpting MP3 audio files Hi Larry, If you use Goldwave, and the files you need to create must be in a .MP3 format, you will need to install a plug-in called LAME. There are instructions on how to do this on the Goldwave website, http://www.goldwave.com.

I am absolutely 100% clueless as how to do this. The MP3 files in question are currently archived on our web site. Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated.
