Music Quiz Help

Folks

My trusty cd/cassette player has finally given up the ghost so i am struggling with my music quiz rounds.
Obviously i could burn tracks onto a blank cd, but you then end up playing the intro to the song each time. I look to play beginnings,middles and outro's from songs.

Is there a way to burn segments of a aong that anyone knows about that does not cost a fortune in software?

Many thanks

There is a free download that i use called Wavepad nch. It allows you to doctor the tracks, faster slower, backwards, intros, middles & ends etc etc. It,s dead easy once you know how. If you want any more info let me know. Smile

You can tell Itunes when to start & stop a track then burn it onto a CD

Just another alternative free program, it's call MPTrim. Very small download, just tell it how many seconds of a track you want (you can also cut the beginning off too if its a really long intro).

Thanks guys

Have not tried the 2 download options yet.
Did try Itunes and whilst it was obvious how to burn a track i could not see how to partially burn?
Will have another look see if i am missing something obvious.

I am a bit if a lurker here but I have finally seen something I can reply to!

try Audacity - audacity.sourceforge.net/ - it is free and really easy to use. Displays tracks visually an then you can cut and paste sections of songs and output them as MP3s (or various other formats)

I usually edit all my music clips into one track so I can have a bit of a breather in the music round.

I also use Audacity and think its great. Attach a microphone to your pc if its not built in and you can record your voice giving track numbers intro's clues if you want, so the whole round is pre-recorded to give you a break.
Taking the well known bits of famous songs and reversing them seems to go down well! Try it! Wink
