James - an excellent freeware program (open sourge) is "Audacity". It will allow you to convert MP3 to WAV, WAV to MP3 and you can also edit the file to get get just a selected part and/or adjust the sound.
You can get it at http://audacity.sourceforge.net. I'm not connected with it in any way, but have used it very successsfully.
