How to Make Short MP3 Samples With Nero 8
Making MP3 samples is useful if you want to play excerpts of a song online, a portable media device or for playback on your mobile phone. The Nero 8 software suite, mostly recognized for Nero Burning ROM (the CD, DVD and Blu-Ray authoring tool), also includes many other applications. The Nero Wave Editor is particularly useful for making quick and basic sound edits, for example making shortened samples of longer files.
