I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

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.

I installed it, but i have no idea what you mean by that. i've even imported the file i want to rip, but i can't figure out how to drag the cursor over to where i want it to start.

tiggy,
why don't you import the file into itunes and then in the info part of the file in itunes set the start time and the end time to correspond to your segment.
then you duplicate that file as an mp3 and voila! new shortened file.
