Cut clips from mp3

[section31]

Can someone recommend a program that I can simply specify a begin and end time index to cut clips from mp3s?

I tried to purchase this program (http://www.manitools.com/123amp3c/) because I liked the demo and it was exactly what I was looking for, but I got ripped off. It's been over a week and I still haven't received the software. The developer doesn't reply to my emails either. I'm going to have to dispute the charge with my credit card company...haha

MP3 DirectCut is free and doesn't require decoding/re-encoding. Don't know if you can do it by time, tho.

Also free is MusiCutter (http://musicutter.szm.sk/).

You can cut at millisecond (precedent/nearest/next frame), of course without re-encode, work with VBR, ogg files, accept CUE sheet, also join files, ...

Any other suggestions, I didn't like any of these.

Besplit does the trick for me.

You issue a command like this:

besplit -core( -input W:\file.ac3 -a -type mp3 -prefix W:\cut_ ) -split( 217.74 3609.58 )

There are also front ends for it, check the main besweet page also. http://dspguru.doom9.org/

does this work without re-encoding?

does this work without re-encoding?

Yes, it doesn't re-encode the file, it just slices it.

Not sure if it cut's vbr mp3s very well, I just cut one and it came out all garbled.
