Gale, I tried the mp3 you fixed and it still says Format Error! The mp3 I took three seconds off the front works. Is there a tool in Audacity that can shave off seconds from a song? There are several buttons on the splash screen and I can't see what they mean. I changed the screen resolution bigger ...

Gale,

Here is a screen shot.

Gale, I downloaded the MP3 Repair Tool but I couldn't read the buttons at the bottom, even after changing my screen resolution, so I opened up Audacity and opened Manic Monday MP3 and managed to delete the first three seconds off of the start on the song, saved it, and I pasted it into my MP3 player...

I realized what I had done. I had the setting "Stereo Mix" selected for much of my downloading but then I saw "WAVE" was selected and it worked for a song or two. Having see that I switched it back to "Stereo Mix" and it stopped recording. Today I switched back to "WAVE" and I'm back in business. I ...

I think I came to the end of my downloads because the songs are no longer being copied at such places as Lala, iLike, and Youtube. I get a straight line where once there was music. Do they know I'm there and want me to stop listening? I even tried to change user names. I also set dB mode to -96dB. A...
