Yes, I can second that. Just load the mp3 file into
audacity, select the part to cut, then save the
remaining part of the file to a different name.

Thanks, to each of you, for taking the time to reply! I am going to
get Audacity and try it with that. If that doesn't work for me, then I
will get ffmpeg.

>From rpmforge look for "cutmp3".

cutmp3 -i file.mp3 -a 0:37 -b 3:57 copies valid data from 0:37 to 3:57

So you could do:

cutmp3 -i infile.mp3 -a 0:00 -b 0:10
