There's nowhere near the level of accessibility on Windows or Macintosh. You can expect excellent success with command line tools like sox and ecasound. Both are enormously powerful and emminently worth learning, if you plan to do much, or even a little audio work. Example: Your use case below could be used to kill the first 5 seconds of a file like this: sox source.mp3 out.mp3 trim 5 [remaining length] Now out.mp3 contains audio beginning at 5 seconds. To get the total length of, so that you can calculate the remaining length, you can use: sox source.mp3 -n stat Total length is in the second line of output. hth Janina Linux for blind general discussion writes: > Hi all, Mark Peveto here.
