shortening songs

[splodge24]

How do i shorten the length of an mp3 on my computer so i can transfer it to my phone so it doesn't take up too much memory?

You mean you want 10 seconds or so from a full song to use as a ringtone?
Or you want the full song, in lesser quality (and in mono instead of stereo) so that the file size is smaller?

Either way, lots of free downloads (such as "Audacity") do this.

'mp3trim' is a very small download at

(file is actually mptrim)

So, what exactly can mp3Trim do for you? mp3Trim can trim the parts that you want to discard. mp3Trim can adjust the volume - either manually or automatically (normalization) - for example, to amplify those pesky MP3s that sound too low. mp3Trim can fade-in/out (to fix abrupt beginning/ending). mp3Trim can clean up your MP3s and recover wasted disk space.
