free sound editing software

[unwashed potato!]

wondering if anytone can point me in the direction of free and easy to use sound/mp3 editing software.

I got a few songs that i like but the intro sucks and is really long so i'd like to edit it.

Be good if the software gives you more then just a chop editing as i'd like to add fading etc

Going to have to second Bleddyn. I've used it for a Uni project and recently to remove the end of a song when it just got really annoying.
