If the file is a lossless one (AIFF, WAV, ALE, &c), then it's probably easier and certainly more precise to use a proper audio editor.  (I use the shareware Amadeus, which is very powerful, but for something simple like that there are many free ones such as Audacity.)

And if the file is an MP3, then better to use an app that can trim it without decompressing and recompressing, such as the rather good MP3Trimmer.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any apps that can trim other lossily-compressed files (AAC, Ogg, &c) without recompressing — anyone know of one?
