Music Software For Pub Quiz?, simple editing software suggestions required Options

[bramblebunny]

I am looking for some simple cheap/free software that I can use to edit little 20 second or thereabouts bits of a song for a 'name that tune' section of a pub quiz. I have been using Sound Studio, which works great, albeit fiddly as I have to convert the song bits into a different format in Itunes before I can burn them onto a cd. But I've used up my free trial and the software costs $80, and for my unpaid pub quiz, and the fact that I am only using a very small fraction of the software means I can't justify buying it. I run OS 10.3 on an ibook G4. I've tried downloading Cacophony and audacity, but I haven't been able to figure out whether they can do this, or how. In Sound Studio, you can listen to the track, and put in markers, then split the segments, and just use the one that i need. Does anyone know of another programme that will do this? I'm not the hugest whiz on this type of thing, so the simpler the better. I don't want to have to go back to trying to do it on cassette with the pause button! Thanks.

Thanks for the audacity recommendations. I downloaded it, and it doesn't seem to work right. I open a song, and hit play, and you just get one loud noice, with a highlight of the left speaker section, and nothing else. I've fiddled about with cacophony, and I can more or less get what I want with that... I just liked the fact that on sound studio you can insert markers while you listen, so you can stop and start exactly where you want... like just in front of where the title lyrics are.

I will check out the apple store for the ipod game as well.

thanks.
