Duane Thomas Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Recently I acquired this curious cultural item titled Have a Nice Decade: The '70s Pop Culture Box which is a 7-disc anthology of music. Downloaded it into iTunes only to find out that the editors - who should be shot, BTW - have inserted period sound bites at the end of many of the songs, like Patty Hearst talking about the SLA, Jim Jones talking to his followers. etc. Don't really need to be hearing that stuff at the end of an otherwise great song. Is there any way to edit songs in iTunes to clip off that extra irritating 15-30 seconds at the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 You'll probably have to convert it to an MP3, get an MP3 editor, edit it there, save it to a separate folder other than Itunes, delete the Itunes songs, then reload the MP3's. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=3&sqi=2&ved=0CDoQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmpesch3.de1.cc%2Fmp3dc.html&ei=odJXTcbdE8K3tgfpjanvDA&usg=AFQjCNG2RdLESSorpVzy2P7ZiUfuNSozxA http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=4&sqi=2&ved=0CEEQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nch.com.au%2Fwavepad%2Findex.html&ei=odJXTcbdE8K3tgfpjanvDA&usg=AFQjCNEiafahfybPAJunU8otkzPhW2T9TA http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=6&sqi=2&ved=0CE8QFjAF&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mptrim.com%2F&ei=odJXTcbdE8K3tgfpjanvDA&usg=AFQjCNGYU-JDWhkBlEkN94LKgKSk5ACsxg Here are some MP3 editors, I make no warranty as to how they are used or how good they are, as I have not used them.

BritinUSA Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Not sure if you have a Mac or not... But did you try importing into GarageBand to see if you could edit there ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
