Easy MP3 Cutter is a program made to cut out specific sections of audio files. Despite the software's name, this programs works with more than just MP3 files. The interface is simple and you should have no problem removing or extracting areas of any audio file on your computer.

Simple Features

Easy MP3 Cutter is a simple program with just a few features. At the same time, this can be a good thing because this program is easier and faster to use than larger audio editing programs. Its main feature is to cut audio. You can remove segments from an audio file that you don't like or need. For example, many music files have silence at the beginning or end. You can remove those sections with ease.

You can also extract those slices. It's the same thing, but you're keeping the parts you cut rather than erasing them. This program makes it easy to do either and it will splice the remaining sections perfectly. You can then use the remaining file as a ringtone, listen to it like a regular audio file or use it however else you want.

Another potentially useful feature is that you can change the audio file's volume. This is good if the file is too loud or soft. You likely won't find this as useful as cutting the file, but it's still a handy tool to have.

This program works with both MP3 and WAV files. These are the two most common audio files now and most if not all of your audio files are likely in one of these formats. You cannot use other audio file types with this program.

Easy Interface

Easy MP3 Cutter is a simple program with a very easy interface. You just need to add any audio files that you want to work on and then choose which segments to remove or extract. All of the tools are clearly labeled and there is only one menu. You won't have to dive through many menus and buttons to find the tools you're looking for. It's all right there in front of you.

If you're a novice user or just want an easy program to work with, then Free MP3 Cutter is as simple as it gets.

Silence Detection

Most people use this program to remove any silent sections from an audio file. These silent parts can be annoying and they just make the file larger. Easy MP3 Cutter has automatic silence detection and it will show you parts that are only silent. While it won't remove the parts itself, this makes it much easier to find exactly where you want to cut.

Visual Splitting

You can choose to cut files either by typing in the seconds or selecting it visually. The program can show the waveform of the audio file and you can select the parts that you want to remove. Having this extra viewing option is nice as it gives you another way to see the file, which might help you find areas that you want to remove or extract.

No Quality Loss

Easy MP3 Cutter will create a new audio file when you're all finished cutting out sections. You might be worried that this new file might have quality loss and that it won't sound as good as the original. This program will use the same compression standard already used on the file. That means it will sound exactly the same. The only difference will be that the file is now shorter based on how much you cut out.

Limited Segments

The only problem with this program is that it allowed a limited number of cuts per file. You can perform up to five cuts per file. There is no way to do more, but you can always reload the finished file and then do more if needed. This can be a little annoying, but five cuts should be enough for most files.
