Just today I used WavePad Sound Editor.lnkto truncate a file that when exported was 4:42 in length though the song was just 3:10. Tried a number of solutions in Cakewalk, none of which worked. Loaded the file into Wave pad,hit "trim" and done. Took about 30 seconds. Also jacked the volume by a few db in about the same time. Check it out, very useful.
