The new get info box is now too long. If you wish to edit a song's length you need to see the song timer (top-screen), and write in the relevant box at the same time. Unless you move the box down you cannot do this. After you finish writing the new song length you have to move the box up again in order to click OK.

You can make the Get Info editor window larger or smaller by dragging one of its corners. Why would you want to edit the length of a song?

Thanks. It worked. Because i have live albums where much space is used for banter, clapping etc.

HH,
I am sure the reference is to setting the Start Time and Stop Time on the Options tab (and not about trying to change the Duration field on the File tab, which for obvious reasons is not editable).
I get that, though it still seems strange to me. Maybe I'm the odd one though, in that I prefer to listen to recordings as the musicians/producers intended. The one exception I can think if is for non-commercial "warts and all" live recordings; I'm not one of those who thinks that removing several minutes of "tuning" detracts from listening to a Grateful Dead concert 😉
What's the point of having the function if it was not intended for use?
Just because a feature exists doesn't mean it has to be used, or that all users have any interest in using it. I get the OP's point here, but iTunes is full of features I'd love to be able to remove or completely disable. For example, I have no use at for ratings, shuffle mode, Genius, Match, and I could probably manage fine if all views other than Albums were removed. Prior to the OP's clarification I was genuinely wondering why someone would want to only play part of a track ...
Gee thanks for the lecture. I CHOOSE to use this particular feature. I will continue to do so. Thanks for your help. This discussion is now over.
