mp3 file editing

[ZeroEffect]

Here is what I am looking to do. I automaticly download some mp3 podcasts but there is some junk/silence in the beginning. I am looking for a way to trim the front of the audio file and re-save it. it the simplest form I want to remove x number of seconds from the beginingthen resave the file. I know there is a program out there called mptrim but it is not automatic.

I am thinking of opening the file into an arry then removing x number of bytes from the array and resaving the array or is there a better way?

Thanks for your thoughts on this.
