Jon, this will do what you want and it does not decode/encode when it does it. All the work is done in the native MP3 format.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Hello, all. So, say you work on an ancient dialup at home. And you have a fairly old Netscape and IE version 6.0.xxx as browsers. Say that the Netscape has a habit of crashing, so you don't use it often, but that since yesterday IE has been on the fritz.
(Notably, a page will load, go to the proper background color, create a vertical scrollbar, and then be Done and blank. Sometimes, if I scroll to the bottom, the text on the page appears, but mostly it doesn't. Much more of a problem on complex pages like Yahoo mail and Boston.com, but just now b.org succumbed to it as well.)
1. Any ideas WTF?
2. What browser should I download that will not go on the fritz on my elderly, slow-connection machine?
All advice appreciated (I will be fine at work; this is the home machine).

That which does not kill you should RUN
Nutty, is Ye Olde Computron a Mac or a PC? And what OS are you running?
In either case, have you tried Opera?
(Other suggestions might be forthcoming based on what type of system you have.)

PC, Win 98 Plus. Haven't updated a thing in years, and had hoped to get away with that for many years hence.
I will not point out that Netscape has not yet crashed on me, because if I do, it promptly will.

Hmm. I would just try downloading Internet Explorer SP if that's not the version you're using (it's basically the version for anyone not running Windows XP).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It sounds like the browser is having problems interpreting scripts. I'm not exactly sure what would cause that.
Since you haven't updated in a long, long time, I wonder if it hasn't picked up an infection of some sort. Other things you might want to download are Ad-Aware and Spybot - Search & Destroy. They'll find any spyware you may have picked up in your browsing.

Thanks again to Nova & ND for the mp3 editing resources. The file I needed to trim was too big for the freeware version of mpTrim, but the command line version of ffmpeg worked just fine.
Anyone here subscribe to any Podcasts? The file I was trimming was an mp3 of my radio show. I'm experimenting with setting up a Podcast, so if anyone is set up to receive them, I'd love to have someone test it out. Let me know and I'll post the XML URL.

Oh, yeah. I subscribe. Let me know.
