I would like to cut MP3s uploaded to a server into 2 minute sections, fade in the first 30 seconds, and fade out the last 30 seconds. Then I would like to be able to overlap the various sections so that they crossfade into each other using the 30 second fades. I can see that mpgtx will work fine for the cutting, but what about the fading and mixing? Are there any command-line tools to manipulate the volume of mp3s without converting to WAV first? thx, derek -- derek holzer ::: http://www.umatic.nl ---Oblique Strategy # 185: "Which parts can be grouped?"
