One more thing. <br>
I typed in <br>
<b> dd if=parasites-1.mp3 of=parasites-1a.mp3 bs=1024 count=2500<br>
<br>
</b>but the file is unreadable now. I get an error on the players<br>
when I try to play. <br>

You could just use 'dd', it already on your system.
For example:
dd if=song.mp3 of=truncated_song.mp3 bs=1024 count=1000
This will keep only the first megabyte of the song.
Adjust the "count" variable accordingly.
If your song weights say 5MB, use count=2500 , and so on.
