Editing Your iTunes Tracks
Sometime you might feel irritated to listen the applause sounds and on stage chatting between the songs while you are playing track from live concert CD. You can actually cut out these irrelevant parts if you are using iTunes application. By doing so, you can reedit and let one song to be continued immediately after the other song.
To cut out extraneous concert chatter, you can adjust the “Start” and “Stop” times of the track in iTunes. So before playing the song you want to edit, you need to note the track starting and stopping time using the time counter in the iTunes window.
Once you have done that, you click on the song you want to edit. Then go to the iTunes File menu and choose Get Info. Click on the Options tab in the information box that appears. There are boxes here to check for adjusting the Start and Stop times of the selected song. Just check which end of the song you want to edit and then type in the time-counter numbers you noted to have the song start and stop at those points.
Of course you can restore back the original song length by undo you changes in the information box.

This is a nice post in an interesting line of content, great way of bring this topic to discussion.
I have a question. I have a few songs that were not ripped off of CD's that will reach the end of their play time and will sit at 0:00 for an amount of time until the song actually finishes. i.e the song is longer than the allotted play time, but iTunes won't let me edit the time to be longer, only shorter. How do I fix this?
when i go into my itunes and click on "file", it wont let me click on "get info". any idea why that is?
thanks
I want to edit music, I have lot of all CD and I want to convert all these CDs to MP3.
How do I fade out an itunes selection (as opposed to just stopping it) and then how to I convert it to MP3? Thanks!
Thank You Very Much ! It Worked..After All This Time I Have Been Trying To Cut Songs But I Never Got It…Until I Looked At Your Reply..
I have a weird problem that's related to this – I have songs that are longer than the duration listed in the info window (i.e., according to iTunes the song lasts 2:31, but it actually lasts 2:44.). These songs play fine in iTunes – it just stops counting when it gets to zero – but if I burn them on to a CD, everything after the incorrect stop time vanishes.
I've tried lengthening the songs in the info window, but the change vanishes when I close the window. (Which is not the case if I shorten the track.) Any workarounds?
