Editing my finished MP3

[Facemask93]

I recently finished my first project with my mate on the BR , and found that it was 1 MB to big to upload ,  the problem is its five verses long ( John Barlycorn ) 1 - how do i edit it down to 5 MB without spoiling the whole feel of the song , 2 - what program do i use to edit it with

Thanks

I use these 2 free programs...This is the simplest and it shows when you right click a sound file

This is used by most of the community

Looking forward to hearing your Project

Instead of cutting off a part of it you can try converting it to a lower bitrate. If the sound is acceptable post that. Or if you have another place on the web to put it you can put a link to it in your post.
