If this is an audio CD, the file is already an AIF. Just open the disk, 

find the master file, and open it in QuickTime. From there, you can edit 

out the portion you want (highlight and select, then copy) to a new 

document (paste). Do a 'Save As', and you have your snippet.


If this is not an AIF-native file, you can still likely open it in QT to 

edit, depending on format.


If you can't figure out how to open it in QT, you can use SimpleSound (in 

your Apple Menu) to record a snippet (hint: allocate more memory to 

SimpleSound to increase your max time) by selecting the sounds source 

(from your Monitors and Sound CP) as either 'CD' or 'Internal'. Once you 

have the sound in SS, you can again use QT to convert it to AIF (note: SS 

saves the file in SND format inside your System Suitcase. Be sure to drag 

it out of the Suitcase when you're done, unless you want to retain it as 

a System Alert sound).


There are numerous freeware and shareware apps that give you more power 

and flexiblity to extract and edit sounds, but the freebies right on the 

Mac usually do just fine.


And, as always, please don't forget to respect copyright laws when using 

other people's work.
