They had a refurbed 15" Macbook Pro the other night for $1299 and one for $1499 last night. You tend to have to be up to check in the middle of the night for those deals though as they sell quickly.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, that kind of hacking is definitely only for people who actually enjoy it -- and it's often enough headache-inducing even then.

Do you mean edit an mp3?

It's command line, but ffmpeg does this without any lossiness.

How about audacity?

It will lose quality, but it won't make any notable difference for speech.

You'd need mp3 support added to Audacity as well

That's why I suggested ffmpeg. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a simple windows binary.
