Buzz Out Loud Lounge: Can't edit BOL MP3 files
Can't edit BOL MP3 files
by ttwiv - 1/31/08 10:26 AMI wanted to send a clip of a BOL episode to a friend (but not the whole MP3) -- but I can't edit it with either "Cool MP3 Splitter" nor "WavePad". Wavepad says the MP3 file is corrupt or not a true layer 3 file. Cool MP3 Splitter appreat to like the file, but it chokes when inserting split points (bookmarks). I've tried multiple BOL episode files with same results. Any ideas on why BOL MP3 don't edit?

I tried it today with Audition, Garageband, QuickTime Pro, and Audacity. Worked fine with me.
audacity

I use that, and i remember that they use audacity to record with ?
it just works?

Honestly, I assume they have mixers and such to do all the hard work and recording onto a computer is the easiest way..
even if they don't have much in the way of mixers, you don't NEED MUCH
Leo has skype, and he does have some equipment and softwear, but he started off on TWIT with just skype and not much else 
but BOL still isn't editable by WavePad MP3 editor

Interesting that you can edit the BOL MP3s with those other editors you listed. Are any of those free editors? With WavePad (a nice free editor), I can edit all other CNET MP3 podcast files, but not the BOL files (as I get the aforementioned "not a true layer-3 MPEG file" error). Obviously the BOL MP3 files are valid, given that other editors work with them, but there the BOL files are somehow incoded differently as they won't edit in WavePad...
(NT) Audacity

audacity -- beta or non-beta

All this talk about Audacity and I didn't realize it was a free tool. I'll try it. It looks like the new beta version has been out about 3 months. Is the beta pretty stable? Or do you reccommend the version previous to the beta?
(NT) Beta is fine, but to be extra-safe go non-beta.
