Tools like Audacity (free), Fission (cheap & basic but innovative) and Sound Studio (powerful and reasonably priced for what it does) will be your friend. You may also need to install the LAME plug-in to give these programs the necessary MP3 magic!

Audacity looks like the perfect program for me. But i cant figure out how to install the LAME plug-in. I downloaded it, and when i try to export the song i want as an mp3 it asks me to look for a certain file from LAME, and i direct it to my folder that i downloaded, but cant find that file... any suggestions?
LAME library
Make sure you unzip the lame package and in my case, I copied the liblame file to my Library directory. There was a readme file that pretty clearly explained the process.

This can be accomplished easily in iTunes. Select the song, type cmd-I (get info). Select "options" and set the start and end times. Now from the Advanced menu, select Convert Selection to AAC (or a different format, as chosen in the Preferences). All done, no additional software required!
