I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, here's a question: is there a way for me to edit my music files? Without paid-for software? Because the hidden track has all the blank space at the beginning. I know I can just FF, but still. Computers should make everything perfect!!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I usually go with the demo version of Goldwave.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You need special software for that. But on iTunes, you can tell it to start and/or end a song at points other than the beginning and end. Just go to 'info' - there's a tab there that will take you to the right screen.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
When you rip songs in iTunes, there's an option that lets you pick the start time and the end time of a particular track.

You people are very fancy, and I thank you.

Oh, I had forgotten about that. But for some reason I prefer to leave the song the way it was and just set iTunes to not play part of it. I can't really say that one method is better than the other.
If you only rip the part you want, the file size will be smaller, except if you use VBR I suspect the file sizes would be close to the same for either method.

I didn't know iTunes could do that!

And the iPod you'll eventually get will respect this setting as well.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee. The inevitability.
I should note that my ancient 6 gig Creative Labs Nomad is on its last, err, pegs. The damage has progressed beyond its merely superficial housing breaking away and the end cannot be far off now. It has served me faithfully for many years.
I've been working the SO, so we'll see if a pod turns up in the mid to near-term future.
