Hey Bill,
Thanks so much for answering so soon! I have 4 songs total. 3 are all on 1 track (they run together)of a cd and about a minute each the other is almost 5 minutes and on another cd. What would be the best way to email them to you. I can save them to a file on my hd and then attach or is there a better way such as zipping them. When all is said and done I need 4 separate sound clips with good quality (cause they are demo songs for a singer friend of mine) that will be on her resume on a website. The friend is Sngrchk I am sure you have seen her post on VH-1 and even here before.

You can visit her site with the clips I tried to do that sound pretty awful compared to their originals. The address is http://noradalby.freewebspace.com/ go to soundclips page and you can here what I am talking about.
