MacBook users..need some iDVD help

I'm trying to make one of those photo "movies" on iDVD where you make a slideshow with your pictures and set it to music. Here's what I'm having trouble with...

Say I have a 4 minute song, but I only want to use the first verse, say the first minute. Is there a way to only use part of a song, or are you stuck with using the entire audio track? Is there any way at all I can use a portion of a song? Someone told me yesterday I needed to download an mp3 splitter, which I did, but it's asking me for a "cue file" now and I have no idea what that is.

Any help is greatly appreciated! If I can't figure it out soon, I may have to go to the "genius bar" at the Apple Store and ask them.

there's probably a way to do that in iDVD, but I don't know that program, but as a workaround: what mp3 splitter are you trying to use? Because I would suggest trying Audacity, I think it's the easiest editing program out there.

I have no idea how to use Garage Band, I'm trying to figure it out now.

Thanks, anakela, I'll try to download audacity.

Got it, great!

Now, once you have "split" the song, how do you save the part of the song you want, so you can use it in iDVD?
