Edit MP3

[Whickerman]

I have an MP3 file and I want to edit it so that I can use just a few notes of a piece of music; is there a piece of software you'd recommend?

The most popular free audio editor (with good reason) is Audacity. Download version 1.2.6 here:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Because of patent constraints, Audacity isn't supplied with the facility to encode MP3s built into it. Don't let that put you off. You just need to download an additional file:

Audacity is fairly intuitive but it's still a lot easier to use if you download (and read!) the users' manual:
