[gentoo-user] Truncating sound files

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

I have a small collection of songs which I'd like to put on a Web site in 
shortened form. I've converted them to mp3 on my disk, but they're too big 
to upload to the Web host (and anyway if everyone could download the lot 
they wouldn't have to buy the CD).

Is there a way to create a version of each song that fades out after, say, 
half a minute? Or perhaps resample them at a lower bit-rate? I've searched 
the package list and google, but with no luck so far.

Thanks in advance.
