I have a .wav file that I want to use as the incomming call signal for my cell phone. It's of my diesel pickup starting on a cold day.
http://24.23.89.36/powerstroke.wav
It's 14 seconds long and I want to shorten it to about 7. I'm running XP SP2 and have WMP-9 and the standard Sound Recorder. I can start both utilities, start the file playing, start the recorder, but nothing is recorded.
What am I doing wrong?

In order to use Sound Recorder from WMP, on this XP machine, RIGHT click on the "speaker" icon in the lower right corner, choose "Adjust Audio Properties". (You can also access this from the Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices" option) When the next window loads, click on the "Audio" tab, then click on the "Volume" button in the "Sound Recording section. Next, make sure the "Wave Out Mix" or "Stereo mix" box has a CHECK mark in it..("Line In" won't do it.)Then adjust the volume slider to a medium level. Close the window and try again.
YOu should now be able to record anything that is playable through the speakers of the computer.
Hope this helps.

in the meantime you can grab this zipped set. larger is at your present sampling and smaller is at a smaller sampling.

Scan, open, check, then let me know and I'll delete it from the server.
Thanks, but it's not the size, it's the duration. I got it so you can delete it. I'll have to work on shortening the duration. Both files run about 6 seconds, I want about 4.
