install lame?

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.

Basic Audacity editing tutorial with lots of screenshots [link]

Huh, you should just be able to click on the graph where you want the track to play. Can you play the track?

I don't have Audacity installed here, so I can't look at interface to jar my memory.

Gud has it right -- you click in the timeline to set your cursor, and click/drag to highlight the parts you want to cut in the same way you'd highlight what you want to cut out in a word document. It's just that the interface can be a little fiddly (and waveforms a little strange if you're unfamiliar with them) if there isn't either a screenshot or someone there to help out. A lot of people have troube with it until they get used to what they're seeing.

Anyone know php associative arrays? I've got a small two column mySQL table that i want to stuff into an associative array. The fields in the table are program_id and program_name. I want the array to have it's keys equal to the program_id and the values equal to the program_name.

Here's my code. The query in the first three lines is definitely working correctly, but I include it for completeness. I think the problem is in how I am assigning elements to the array, but I don't know the correct syntax. Help?

$query = "SELECT * FROM tbl_programs";
$query .= " ORDER BY program_name";
$progquery=mysql_query($query);


While ($progArr = mysql_fetch_assoc($progquery)) {
    $progTable[] = $progArr['program_id']=>$progArr['program_name'];
}

What do you want the resulting array to look like? I'd probably have the assignment in the loop look like

$progTable[$progArr['program_id']]=$progTable[$progArr['program_name']];

In terms of learning what I've just done to arrays, I do a lot of print_r($array) so that I can see what got put where, and how I can get it out again. It's very powerful, but damn it's easy to slip something in and not know how to get it back out.

$progTable['program_id']=$progTable['program_name'];

Ahhh, yeah, I think that should work! Thanks. I knew I just needed another pair of eyes. Now if my server would only stop acting up, I could test this...

No! That's not going to work! I'm such a ditz. Let me fix it...gimme a couple seconds, though, because work calls.

Here you go: I neglected to actually put anything from the query result in there, in my rushedness:

$progTable[$progArr['program_id']]=$progTable[$progArr['program_name']];
