My mother has requested the song "Calling my Children Home" by Emmylou Harris played at her funeral. The only version of the song that I can find is the live version which sounds great except at the end you can hear the audience applauding. How can I cut the end off before I burn the song to a CD?

I would just get the program Audacity. Its free and it will handle every thing that you want to do.
Loads of people use it to edit music files and podcasts.
Sorry for you loss. Hope she passed peacefully.

Another product that is pretty good is McFunSoft's Audio Editor. You can get it at CNET/Download (http://www.download.com), but to use all the features, you do have to buy the full version. I myself have it, and use it to make mix CD's, cross-fading songs in and out of each other, cutting long intro's off, and deleting like what you described (audience noise at the end of a live track). It's $20 or $30, but it is a good program. Also, you can save it as a .mp3, .wav, .wma, and lots of other file types. Hope that helped.

It all depends on what programs you use. iTunes has the ability to define at which times you want the song to begin and end. 0:04 to 3:29 or something like that when you right-click on the song and choose get info. Maybe one of your programs has that feature too. Explore what it can do before you try something else.

You can open it in something simple like sound recorder hta comes preinstalled on most computers and play it up to the point where the audience starts applauding, and got to the edit menu and you will see something tot he effect of "delete after thsi point" or something like that...so you delete it and voila...your song is ready to go!

contained in the music settings ur Crossfade Playback should be set to three or 5 secs it really is causing ur songs to overlap on the right with the subsequent songs, u can set Crossfade Playback from a million-10 secs. turn Crossfade Playback to OFF.

theres a program for phones called motorola phone tools that allows you to edit the lengths of songs (presumably to make ringtones) and well seesm like it'd work for this too

A program called SoundForge is what I use for audio file editing.
