   Recording mp3 sound file using Visual Basic (with ability to set parameters   
   such as constant bit rate etc)   
   a.. Playing mp3 sound file using Visual Basic   
   a.. Trim "silent" portion (before the recording started and after the   
   recording was done) of the recorded mp3 sound using Visual Basic   
   a.. to compare 2 mp3 sound files using Visual Basic   
     a.. This is to help me achieve a range of possible results (say between 0   
   and 100) to help me determine that the 2 files are same or almost same or   
   not the same sound that was recorded   
     b.. The two files to be compared could be recorded by different people   
     c.. This comparism is to establish that the 2 files being compared are   
   recording of the same word or phrase by the same person or different person.   
   I intend to have the result in a calibrated way (say between 0 and 100) to   
   allow for error due to different accents, tonation, recording enviroment etc
