I am looking for simple, no frills, easy to use, and prefferably free program that I can use to shorten mp3s and save them to a smaller file. Basically I want to cut a 30-40 second segment of a full song to use as a ringtone. I was able to do this and save it at a lower quality format using the trial version of AV music morpher, but the full software costs $100, which is alot more than I need and am willing to spend. So if anyone knows of anything I could try, pass it on. Thanks.

Audacity is a free audio editor that should suit your needs just fine.

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:

Audacity may be a little more than what you want. If so, take a look at this one. MP3 Direct Cut
