There is a online radio broadcast that I listen to each MP3 is about 60 minutes long,
There are a few songs that I want to save by themselves. Is there a free program out there that I can “crop” out the song that I want?

Look for vitruadub.

Audacity will also do the job.

Ya, that too. i just couldnt remember the name of it..

No, no, no, no, no. Virtualdub is for AVIs and other video files. I don't know about Audacity.

If you completely download each MP3 then play it, mp3DirectCut is for you. Anything else, and you end up re-encoding the audio, causing a major loss in quality. mp3DirectCut is a little odd to use at first but actually cuts the data apart instead of modifying and re-encoding it.

Audacity rocks. Copy and paste as new file the segment of the music you want and save with new file name. Simple.

Ah, I see. It's an audio editor.

No... don't use Audacity. xD

I second Audacity.

Been using it to digitize some old cassette tapes to CD and MP3.

For a free program, high marks for ease of use and quality of the end product. Now getting into layering multiple tracks into one audio program.

no, i didnt say virtualdub, i said virtuadub.. or at least there used to be an audio editor by that name ( without the L ), but i cant seem to find it now.. must have faded off into oblivion.

Ooh, I thought it was a typo.

Seriously though. Unless someone can tell me that Audacity can directly copy MP3 data without re-encoding it, quit recommending it! >.<

thank you for the help everyone, pluses all around. but i trust just about anything tutnkmn says. he has gone out of his way to help me before.

Well, mp3DirectCut is free and designed exactly for the job you need (Audacity is an all around audio editor)... he could probably use that program too. It can't hurt to give that a try too...?

i will need a music editor one of these days, i've bought a theremin muah mua ha ha ha

Oh gawd, yeah, I remember reading that thread. Then I was like, WTF is a theramin? Does it hold coffee? Do I use it at the toilet? Oohh, I see. You wave at it. Very chic.

not to mention chics dig'em
