"I bought Toast w/ Jam to digitize some 1973 tapes of my grandmother. Tapes are digitized, but now I need to shorten one aiff file and can't figure out how to do it in these programs. Am I missing something or do I need another program? Thanks." I think you can edit sound in imovie and get resonable control. Quicktime will do a fast and dirty job. DigiDesign has a very complicated (to me anyway) program for sound recording and editing that is free. Coaster can cut it on the fly but thats asking alot. jj
