you could do it with windows built in app “sound recorder” but it is a bit rubbish. depending on file formats, or go to downloaddotcom and search for a trial program or something.

I use Sound Forge, but it’s not cheap. Audacity would work too. Or you can search on google for sound editors.

you can use itunes.
1.right click on the song you want to cut down
2.click get info
3.click on the options tab
4.in there it should say start time and stop time
5.type in the time you want the song to start and stop
6.click ok and it should have worked :)
