1. MP3 editor in Euphoria?? or .wav to .mp3 converter?
This is not terribly important, but I'm looking for a way to
cut out a portion of an MP3 file, in order to shorten a "long" silence track.
After ripping some CDs to MP3, I find that the last track on each CD is a
"dummy" track of silence for 15 seconds. Since I want to put all tracks
onto one CD in MP3 format, and the tracks are readings from books on CD,
that 15 seconds of silence is unexpected by the listener. All the other
tracks have about 5 seconds silence at ends of tracks, which is a reasonable
pause at the end of a paragraph of spoken text.
I'd like to be able to shorten the 15 seconds to 5-6 seconds, so the
"reading" is more normal & consistent, & doesn't make the listener think
something has gone wrong, like battery died.
Has anyone made an editor in Euphoria for MP3? I looked, but there didn't
seem to be one in contributions.
Alternatively, something to CONVERT a short null .wav file into MP3 would
work just as well for this purpose, and might be useful otherwise, too.

Hi Dan. Why not just have a 5 seconds silent MP3 handy to replace the 15 second
one with?
As far as MP3, have a look at Greg Haberek's Audio Ripper Plus source code.
There is a wrapper for LAME which should be perfectly suited to encoding and
decoding MP3s. I have not tested the wrapper so I don't know how complete it is.
Avoid BASS for anything commercial; check the license :)

Why not re-invent the wheel here...
there are 100's of mp3, ogg, etc. editors
try audacity, its cross platform.

Hi Gary,
I didn't HAVE a 5 seconds of silence to use, or I wouldn't have asked! :)
I'll check out Greg's Audio Ripper when I can, thanks!
