preferred editing (timing) programs

Hey everyone,
I have recorded some raw VGMs and want to trim and send them in. I just haven't found a program that can take the .wav and tell me where to (accurately) trim the vgm. Goldwave, my favorite, gives me values that are way off - it must use different units of time. And I am just plain stupid. What do you guys use?

Are you WAV files 44 KHz ?
I'm myself using an old version of Goldwave (3.24, 1997) and it works well for that purpose.

See if you can change the units. I use Cool Edit 2000 (full *cough* version), if I right-click on the time scale below the WAV display, I can choose loads of time formats including samples. The cue list has also proved very useful recently; and I like to be able to right-click and copy the sample number to the clipboard as text.
Try and find what units Goldwave's using, to be able to convert properly. There's loads of funky formats, like CD 75fps and "Bars and Beats" in CE2K, and millisecond-accurate trimming is a bit too inaccurate sometimes (I like to be very precise).

You could get a trial version of "Acid Wav" for free from download.com, not the best WAV editing program out there but it's what I use and it's not that big.

I use goldwave too (and I think that my version is 2.something); it is very useful and can express numbers in several formats.
However, Cool Edit is the best one... I had it for a while but I lost the installation disk... (and I don't have patch codes...). Now I don't have cool edit but I am still alive. So use goldwave and be happy!
