This will decode the entire mp3 to a MS wav file. Now, is it possible to decode just a specific portain of the mp3, say like 3 seconds or something? Is there anyway to pass in a start and end time to lame (or another decoding software) that will decode only that specific time frame?
Audacity and Rezound will open MP3, and with both you can cut and export to virtually all music formats. That doesn't help if you want, say, 3 seconds from the middle of 200 MP3 though.
Thanks RolledOat for the suggestion to use Rezound. I've tried Audacity before and I was not impressed but Rezound is great. Plenty good enough for my simple needs (cutting the ragged ends of mp3's). This ones a keeper.
Originally posted by ToniT I think Rezound is better for sound editing; mpg321/123 is primarily a mp3 player.
But is Rezound scriptable? I have sets of 100 sounds that I need ~3 seconds of music from the middle of each. I have tried using mpg321(123) but it seems to work with only the -k or the -n option (not both). Any help would be great here!
