ok, so i need to edit a MP3 for a flash, i have WavePad, and i cut out what i wanted. Problem is, the cut section in now bigger in size (like, 32 MB) then the original 8 minute song! (which was like, 7 MB). And there are crackly sounds throught the audio, why is this? Why is it that the cut portion is much bigger, and of less quality then the orginal song? Is there a way to fix this? How did the original author get the size so small, with great quality? Im pretty confused here, help please.
