Problem with Nero and MP3s

[NV30]

Have an audio file that I want to shorten, so I used Nero's Wave Editor. Now I clicked to save as an MP3, but when I clicked options to specify bit rate etc, it exited the program. I tried saving without specifiying the bit rate, so the modified file played at 80Kbits/second, which is obviously not too great. Any ideas on what to do? Are there other free editors that can edit mp3 files?

with Nero you have to purchase the MP3 plugin to take advantage of the full MP3 editing.

the standard MP3 plugin is 15.00 if you download it and buy it.

the MP3 PRo is 19.00 if downloaded and purchsed off the net.

Goldwave is a standalone program that is free and allows you to do many things with your audio file.

hey m8..

#1 - get goldwave (it's not free though)
#2 - get the mp3 plugin for nero
#3 - u can also try cooledit or stienberg wavelab - for professional editing

if u just want to conevt mp3 to wave files / rip mp3s from cds / convert between audio file types - get cdex @ cdex.n3.net
it's free..!

Goldwave is shareware... so payment is optional.

Is GoldWave free?
No. GoldWave is shareware. This means that you can download and try it for free, but you are required to register it if you decide to keep it.

But as far as I can tell there are no usage limitations, if you don't let your consious get to you its free.
