Full and fast 
- Interface: 2
- Features: 3
- Ease of use: 2
- Value: 4
- Overall:
Pros: 1) Drag 'n drop. 2) Very fast. 3) Works on MP3 files directly. 4) Fade 5) Auto-cue feature which let's you split 1 large file in several smaller parts of equal size. 6) Several languages. etc... Cons: 1) Interface could be confusing at first with all the buttons. 2) Read the Help. Faster than Audacity for the tasks you usually do on an MP3 of which you don't want to change the existing quality or sound frequency (tasks as: cut, fade, ...). Better than Megamp3split because of the fading-possibility and because you can configure the way you save cuts more to your needs.

It's cut out for the job

I wish I would have had this when I transferredacked up my cassettes to disk. Had a heck of a time with run over, etc... this would have came in handy and I may still do a new back up with better sound quality. If I do, this is the tool for the job! No more worrying about run over and such, I can simply copy through and then cut everything after. Excellent.

I have used this program a long time, and it is very elegant with its foundation and function. what a beautiful piece of non-bloated code. like others, i have an extensive vinyl collection and make my own soundbites for ring tones for broadcasting purposes, and this program has filled the bill wonderfully because i can use it as a PORTABLE. keep up the good work~!

This program is a work of genius. It's small, fast, and efficient. Perfect for fade-ins, fade-outs, getting rid of blank space, or noise spikes from MP3 files. Does everything except for the most complex tasks.

Finally I find this freeware for cutting my mp3 files. It is a must-have software to making your own ringtone for mobile phone. It is so easy to use. I just install it and used few mins to try how to cut a part of mp3, save it as another mp3 file. No need to read any manual or help, straight forward.

Great for transfering vinyl records to mp3
- Interface: 3
- Features: 4

- Value: 5
- Overall:
MP3DirectCut represents an outstanding value when you consider its cost (free). Furthermore, its sparse computing needs has allowed me to install it only an old 700 MHz lap top computer that I've turned into a juke box. - - - MP3DirectCut enables me to easily copy out-of-print vinyl recordings into MP3 files without the need to deal with large .wav files. Most important, it allows me to nearly automatically break up vinyl record cuts without having to manually search for the quiet gaps between the vinyl record bands. The program marks the quiet gaps based on user specified time duration and maximum level ("pause detection"), and then separates them into individual mp3 files. - - - Those advantages are offset by the absence of an instruction manual. It took me a while to figure things out. My notes can be found at: http://spreadsheet.home.comcast.net/DirectCut/MP3DirectCutOperation.doc

Once upon there was a sport called programming. This guy is one of the champions. Check the file size - for Gods sake, it's 45 KILOBYTES, and it has everything in it! Pretty interface, fast operation, no annoying extras, no install (it simply WORKS if you run the exe), no registry-f*cking, no unwanted behaviour. Very nice job, and very good tool. A must have.

This program was just what I was looking for. I wanted the ability to copy and save several different 'sections' of my MP3 file into separate files (tape to PC/MP3 for church) and it did it with no quality loss. It did take a few minutes to learn the menu but it was well worth it. DDB

A very good basic mp3 editor
- Interface: 4
- Features: 4
- Ease of use: 2
- Value: 5
- Overall:
The software is a very small, stand-alone program, but it is very useful when editing MP3's. In fact, I found it preferable to using a large program to do the MP3 editing. The only real problem with it is that it is a bit difficult to understand at first, but after doing a few MP3's, the procedures can be easily acquired. The online help file was somewhat helpful, but the best way to learn to use the program is to actually make some cuts yourself. There was no change in quality of the saved files after cuts were made. It is suggested that you download the latest version of LAME and unzip it to the MP3 DirectCut folder.
