Re: [Harp-L] Music editing - Fading out Pre-recorded music (mp3, etc)

["Bart van Strien" <knuppel@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've always been very keen on avoiding loss when I cut up things. Like using 
Virtualdub to cut up Avi's etc.  To cut up Mp3's lossless use I use => 
mp3DirectCut 2.13     http://mpesch3.de1.cc/mp3dc.html
It used to be freeware (maybe it still is) and , incredible but true, it 
does lossless fades as well

Cheers
Bart
