Thank you gentlemen for your helpful and interesting responses.

The fact of the matter is that you didn't get any help from those
gentlemen. They used your post as a point of departure in their
attack on DRM.
My suggestion would be to convert the DRM file to wav, using a
variety of programs, to see if you can find one that ignores DRM. What you
want to do is find a program that will allow you to make a
compilation in wav. Then simply convert the file back to the
compressed file you want.
Start out with dbpoweramp music converter. If that doesn't work, try
CDex. No luck? Try burrn. In every case, you should download one of
the older versions of the program; it's less likely to know about DRM.

Norm, we offered the OP a way to do what he wants to do. You offered him
nothing useful at all - you say "find a program that does what you want".
Great advice!

Question "I'm poor, how can I be rich" Answer from Norm "That's easy, find
something that will make you rich instead of poor".

Incidentally going directly to WAV and then back to MP3 is a double encoding
that you'd what to avoid but unless there is a way that none of us knows
about to 'strip' the DRM out of the file (and I don't believe the DRM is
just in the header), any program would HAVE to do that anyway.

Good luck, Malcolm

Yeah, Obviously, Norm has never converted a DRM file in his life.
And, yes..double encoding, as DadiOn also suggested, is nothing short
of imbecilic.

Me? Not me. I suggested nothing...I merely pointed out that - as
usual - you haven't a clue about what you are saying.

You really should spend a little time trying to learn the terms and what
is actually happening when you rip/encode/"play"-decode. I don't think
an understanding of same is beyond even your demonstrated, meager
intelligence.

That says a lot from someone who doesn't even know that files can be
edited in Nero. Oh, I forgot you pretended that you had actually used
this program before.

Your memory is worse than your "advice".

You advised someone to edit MP3s using the Nero WAVE editor. I pointed
out that the Nero WAVE editor doesn't edit MP3s, it edits waves. Like
any other WAVE editor. Any WAVE editor first decodes the MP3 to WAVE
then re-encodes that WAVE to MP3 when one has finished editing. Since
the OP was wanting to chop off silence a wave editor was a poor choice
as there are programs that can do it directly to the MP3 without the
necessity of decoding/encoding.

Try to comprehend the forgoing, it is a simple concept. Read it
multiple times as needed to understand.

You must really enjoy making a fool out of yourself. Are all UK bloats
as ignoble as you or are you just one of those special cases? You
lost this one a long time ago. I guess your UK Ego bruises easier than
most of your other fellow bloats. Too bad.

Audio files, WAV and MP3 alike, are edited in "Nero Wave Editor," which
is only a part of an entire product suite. Obviously, you lied about
using Nero and are still trying to redeem yourself. This is really
pathetic. I would have expected more from a UK bloat. You should be
ashamed of yourself for your fellow compatriots!!

Like any other WAVE editor. Any WAVE editor first decodes the MP3 to WAVE
then re-encodes that WAVE to MP3 when one has finished editing.

You don't "re-encode" a WAV to MP3. It's either decode a MP3 or encode
to MP3. Besides this has nothing to do with the OP. Perhaps you need
to study your own so called informative website more often, and try to
learn something instead of spouting pure gibberish.


Since the OP was wanting to chop off silence a wave editor was a poor choice
as there are programs that can do it directly to the MP3 without the
necessity of decoding/encoding.


The OP was only trying to split tracks. Go back to the OP and look at
it again...and again....and again. You really have become senile.

Learn from you own advice. This is especially true for "Inattentive
Types" like you. Apparently, re-reading hasn't and likely won't work.


You really need to get away from this forum once in awhile and actually
have a life. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for you. Seriously,
when's the last time you even got laid?

Speaking of making a fool of oneself...

I was born in Indiana, lived most of my life in Honolulu, then Veracruz,
Mexico, then Florida.

I have been all over the Pacific basin, North/Central/South America and
the Carribean but I have never set foot in either England or the UK.

And before the ****ing MP3s are edited in the WAVE editor they are
decoded to *wave*, you freakin', dense idiot.

Obviously, you don't have a clue about the relationship between MP3s and
waves. And you are too stupid to learn.

See? I told you...too stupid to learn.

No matter, a wave editor wasn't the best choice for what he needed.
Better to use something that would do it directly to the MP3 rather than
something that would decode it to wave then re-encode to MP3. Too
stupid to learn...
