I finally put together a quick web page for ShoreGrass band, after the 20th time I was asked for a promo picture. It's going to be so much easier now to just point the newspaper or whoever to the website and let them pick whichever one they want.

In the process, a bit of the ole techie nerd in me came out again, something I thought I had adequately squelched when I retired. So instead of just photos and bios and schedules, I got involved in sound samples of our cd.

I managed to figure out a work-around to get a short sound clip by starting up a freeware music converter program I found. By taking a guess at the number of seconds it runs (can't hear the original during this time) and cancelling before it's done, I end up with an mp3 file with a clip from the beginning to whenever I cancel.

The problem is that I'd like to pick a section from the middle somewhere which is more representative of the song, maybe a bit of verse and chorus rather than the kickoff.

So, can anyone give me some tips on ways to do this?
