I'd recommend Audacity. It's free and awesome.

Yeah Audacity is the best thing out there, I use it to rip small sections of songs and make my own ringtones. I'm not paying a dollar for a damn ringtone!

Agrees, Audacity is great. Get the LAME MP3 encoder plugin too so you can directly export into MP3. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows

As a reference, MP3DirectCut would have allowed you to achieve what you wanted without the need to re-encode, yielding a higher quality result.
