I'm doing a pop music quiz for our local social club and I need to get some 10 - 15 second clips from various mp3 files and save tham as stand alone wave or mp3s. What is a good simple tool to use under either kde or gnome? Cheers, BJ

XMMS? Use the WAV output plugin. Not ideal, I know, but hey it is simple. Alexis -- You cant idiot-proof it, theyll just build a better idiot. A billion people CAN be wrong. "I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have" - T Jefferson
The good simple tool you are looking for is a combination of BASH and mpg123 :o) do something like this from the terminal window (the command syntax probably isn't quite there so look at sed's man page) run it from your directory of mp3's for i in *.mp3; do f='echo $i | sed -e "s/.mp3/.wav/g"'; mpg123 -n (number of frames here) -w"$f" "$i"; done If you can't get that to work a simpler version that definiately does work is- for I in *.mp3; do mpg123 -n 300 -w "$I.wav" "$I"; done Adjust number after -n to change length of sample Hope that helps Wayne On Wednesday 02 October 2002 14:32, Alexis Lee wrote:
