Program Execution

• Double click on the scissor icon located in Windows, Start, All Programs

• By default, CleanMP3 will try to associate WINAMP as its preferred MP3 player.
 
• If CleanMP3 can't find WINAMP.EXE in C:\Program Files\Winamp\, you will be asked to select a player using the Player button of CleanMP3
• Click on the Player button and browse your C:\Program Files\ to locate and select your favorite player executable file

• Select an MP3 file with the Open button
• The program will figure out the file size, file time, frame header, recording quality, leader and trailer locations
• It will keep track of all the frame header information in a temporary file carrying the same name as the source file and ending with the .hdr extension
• The temporary header file will appear in your CleanMP3 program folder while the source file is still opened
• The header file will be destroyed as soon as you close the source file or the program.

• Click on the Play button to the left of your MP3 source file.
• The selected MP3 file will play in the player associated with CleanMP3.

• Have a look at your MP3 player and take a note, in seconds, where you would like to remove a section of MP3 file and where you would like to add Fade-In and Fade-Out effect.

• Slide the Begin Clean Time and or the End Clean Time scroll bars to the values that you took while listening to the MP3 file.

• Slide the Volume Control, Fade-In and Fade-Out controls as desired.

• You can also insert another MP3 file at a selected time of your source file.
• It is recommended that you prepare and clean this file before you proceed with the insertion.
• This step may include cutting, fade-in, fade-out and volume control operations.
• You should also make sure that you remove the leader and trailer section of this insert file with the check boxes at the bottom of CleanMP3 window

• Press the Clean push button and the cleaning process will take place
• The original MP3 file will remain intact
• The new file will be created in the same folder as the original file
• The new file will carry the same name as the original file name, with an additional character "1" appended to the right of the file name

• Click on Play button to the left of this new file
• If the result requires minor adjustments, you may narrow down to a single frame of music with the Zoom check box
• You just have to repeat the steps above with the original MP3 file and adjust until you are satisfied.

• If you have an MP3 file that you want to keep only a middle section and eliminate the beginning and the end of it, you can select the Save Cut check box
• Use the Begin and End Clean Time to select this middle section
• Click on the Play button to the left of the Cut File
• If the result requires minor adjustments, you may narrow down to a single frame of music with the Zoom check box
• You just have to repeat the steps above with the original MP3 file and adjust until you are satisfied.
• Press the Clean push button and the cleaning process will take place
• The original MP3 file will remain intact
• Two new files will be created in the same folder as the original file
• One ending with 1.MP3 which will be missing a middle section
• One ending with C.MP3 which will be the actual middle section

• This is only to get you started with CleanMP3, but there is much more that you can do.
