We would like to set up a feature for a website that allows a visitor
to upload an audio file and automatically have a snippet (say 10%) of
that audio file created.  For example, a visitor could upload a five
minute song and specify that they wanted their sample to be 10% of the
length of the entire song.  A 30 second file would then be created
consisting of the first 10% of the song.

Does anyone know of an easy way to do this or an application that
might assist with this?

hi i dont know much about php  but i doubt it is strong enough to
support file functions like the one u would require to clip a file.
maybe u should consider using servlets or asps. i think u could write
an asp to split the file. that again will not be easy ! different
audio formats would have different file headers and formats. maybe the
code here : http://cue-splitter.enfis.it
will help u understand.
