Trim up MP3's / Freeware

[Raterus]

Hello,

I'm looking for a freeware tool that will allow me to split / trim the ends of a MP3 file and save the results to a new file. I'm familiar with the program mpTrim, however, some of my MP3's are large, and I'm not interested in paying for a program to do this.

Does anyone know of such a tool?

Thanks,
--Michael

Its free (and very good).

Good luck

Thank you for that suggestion. It looks very nice and I think it will work great for what I need to do!!

Any Mp3 audio editing software program will be of use. First select the portion of the Mp3 of your choice and then using "trim" command, the end of the Mp3 or the portion out of selection can be trimmed. "Trim" command permanently removes everything outside the selection. The selected portion is not affected. This command is used to keep a section of selected Mp3 file and discard the unselected portion. Found this option in FlexiMusic Wave Editor (http://www.fleximusic.com/waveditor/overview.htm), it is free to use as trail version.

@Damster.
FlexiMusic Wave Editor is not free and implies decode and re-encode, like any Wav Editor. For this job you have the free Audacity.

@Raterus.
Free and without re-encode you have also MusiCutter (http://musicutter.szm.sk).

I have the same problem. Want to split a large mp3, but no success yet...
Tried mp3DirectCut but this program seems to have problems with files over 2GB in size. I got 3 mp3 files that are all over 2GB in size an cannot be split by mp3DirectCut 2.04.
The program goes crazy at about the 1490th minute (with a 192kbps file).

Any other suggestions here?

Hi:

I've found a tool called MP3splitter and claims it could cut large mp3 files:

Lite version is freeware.
I've not tested it anyway.
