Re: export mp3
I don't think I can follow that. You have a minute long MP3 that you want to edit down to half-minute and save it on your PC? Say it again and use different words.

Re: export mp3
Here are two things you might be trying to do....
Option 1) Make a copy of just a short part of an mp3. This will be shorter in time, and smaller in file size.
Option 2) Make a copy of a complete mp3, but with the file size smaller. This will be the full music track length but lower sound quality.
Quick How-To-Do ....
Option 1) Open mp3 in Audacity. Select just the part you want.
Then use menu File / Export Selection as mp3
Option 2) Open mp3 in Audacity. Set a low bit rate for conversion by using Edit / Preferences / File Formats / Bit Rate.
Then use menu File / Export as mp3.
