Can it be done? I know it's a dumb question but I'm wondering if it can be done. I have this great song, the only problem is, another song plays at very end for 2 secs. and it's really annoying!:mad2:

I don't want to redownload again so...... can it? how? where/what program do I have to use? *needs help badly*:(

There are some editors that let you eidt MP3 files. Try searching www.download.com . I don't know of any offhand, but I've used one or two in the past. I don't have them installed any longer though.

There's a lot more WAV editors out there than MP3 - you could use Winamp to write the MP3 to a WAV on your HD, edit the WAV, then use Lame or something to change it back to MP3 :p

It'd lose a lot of quality that way though, wouldn't it? Is MP3 lossy compression? I thought it was.

I think you can edit MP3s with <b>MP3 Surgeon</b>. Not sure how it's spelled actually.

Yeah, but any sort of editing other than dropping audio frames from the MP3 file would result in that same quality loss.

Thanks guys! I haven't really tried any of the stuff you said but at least I now have an idea on what I can do.... I'll get back to this after I've tried it. *nods*

I use Nero's editor. Not quite sure if you can resave it as MP3 though >_<;;;
