Cut easely an MP3 or anything

[sirt]

Hi,

So I have an MP3 I would like to cut. Image I would like to exactly cut the first 18 seconds and 40 ms. How could I do that ? You can imagine I don't have the time at all to go through Audacity and zoom one billion times until I can delete those 18:040 seconds. Then would you have a tool or solution to do this easely ? I would like to enter this timing and then it to be instantly deleted.

1. google -> cut mp3
2. third link down -> mp3DirectCut
3. RTFM

I don't understand how you are not getting rule 1 strikes.

If you don't want to bother dragging to select _exactly_ 18.04 seconds, why not enter it as text as the bottom of the window?

As for mp3directcut, it will let you trim frames but that then only has a precision of something like 576 samples.

1152 samples per frame for "MPEG-1" variant of MP3 (32/44/48 KHz), 576 samples per frame for "MPEG-2" variant of MP3 (16/22.5/24 KHz).

And that is as "accurate" as you can possibly cut MP3 files. Even if you re-encode, it would have to be padded to a multiple of 1152 or 576 samples again...
