Revised edition:

I seem to have come across an AC/DC song file. I
would like to split it into ten for no apparent reason. I need a
free program. Thank you.

There is Audacity, which is free, but has very poor preview functions -- there is also Creative Wav Studio which is loaded on to your hardrive if you have any kind of desent Creative Sound Card, I think.

Then we have GoldWave -- the king of the bunch. You'll have to buy him though -- if you still want GoldWave, you can try him out for up to 3000 commands. Hang on a second while I hunt down a link for audacity.

Edit: Done! :biggrin: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

I hope you have lots of RAM. I seem to remember that goldwave was a hog when it came to big sound files.

The problem with GoldWave is that it is very unstable. It crashes sometimes, when I hit the "play" button. The only problem is, when the program crashes, it doesn't kill itself from your computer's memory. (ak,a, RAM or memory I guess). I once opened my process window, and found like, 10 GoldWaves running at the same time :shocked:

I just watched Snatch again
One of the best movies ever. It rocks. Unfortunately, I took a girlfriend to watch that movie on a date, and she turned out to be a conservative Christian. She's just a bit stunned afterward, and we never talked about that movie ever again.

Man, but the glory of pure testosterone violence!

Sounds like you learned something important! I showed a girl Boondock Saints on a first date and she loved it! The relationship never went anywhere, but it was a damn good way to find out if we'd be agreeable right of the bat.

Hmm, I reckon things have changed a might since I was a young'un.. I would never have imagined basing my relationship with a female on the outcome of a movie date.

Perhaps we should compare notes sometime on exactly what we think constitutes a successful relationship, and how long a time it takes to determine that your partner was the correct choice. Course it more than likely would only involve married folks here but still, I would find it particularly interesting.

I'm not saying it's a huge deal. Just that you really do learn something about person from their reactions to such things. Every little bit helps.

I suppose, but think of this.. If you met me today, without our history, would you feel the same way?

Sometimes information is helpful, often its not. Mainly because some information is given more power than it is justified. For instance, how would you feel if you met someone who was not racist, but felt that mixing races to create offspring was wrong?

Now understand, they are not the same thing. In most cases its not the mixing of the races but the worlds views of the action. The children often have to pay a horrible price for the parents decision to create them. This is not fair, but its real and the children often have to deal with it.

What I am trying to say is, sometimes information leads to erroneous thinking.

Of course, that girl dropped me a month or so later and we never did actually go out. But hey...

Yeah, that girlfriend didn't last too long, even though she's one of the nicest person I've dated. Her views are just too conservative for me.

But movies aren't everything. My fiance doesn't like many of my favorite movies, including "Moulin Rouge" and "Minority Report". We do share a few good movies in common, as "When Harry Met Sally" and "Pulp Fiction". We love the same music--old-time jazz and blues.

I do feel a special connection to those who admire "Moulin Rouge", nevertheless.
