mp3DirectCut
By mp3DirectCut / Martin Pesch
mp3DirectCut is a focused editor for supported compressed-audio formats, allowing suitable operations without a full decode-and-reencode cycle. It is useful for cutting recordings and organizing long material while avoiding an unnecessary generation of lossy encoding. Available operations depend on the file format. Keep an original and verify edit boundaries, where compressed-frame structure can affect precise placement.
Keep an untouched source file when making destructive edits or conversions. Check the exported audio as well as the project, particularly when the destination requires a specific sample rate or bit depth.
