That's certainly a harder way to delete than other ways that are available. As has been said earlier, using left bracket and right bracket to enclose the part of the file you want to delete is much easier. Also, holding down the shift key when you press the delete key will guarantee that there will be no popping sound where the pieces of the file are joined together. This does a tiny fade out and in where they are joined. You can't hear it, but it makes the sound mmore smooth.

What I do is, while I'm listening to a file, if I want to delete a part of it from the current place in the file, I: 1. press space bar to stop the file from playing. 2. press shift right arrow, and keep holding down the right arrow key, till I'm done selecting audio. 3. Then, I let go of those 2 keys and hit delete. Now if I want to go to a certain place in a file, and if I know where it is, for example, 25 minutes, I'll: 1. Press the g key 2. Then, type in 25:00. 3. Then, I can go to the exact spot, by pressing enter. 4. Then, I shift right arrow key combo and select as much audio as I want to be deleted.

Also, is there a simple way to select a portion of a file that you wish to delete, or operate on in some way without being forced to enter the start and stop time for the selection? If there isn't, why not? Mike Duke, K5XU American Council of Blind Radio Amateurs
