mp3DirectCut is a free, lossless audio editor and recorder with extensive features for MP3 files. With this lightweight tool, you will be able to perform tasks such as: cutting, copying, pasting, changing volume, removing portions, splitting files, adding/copying regions, without having to decompress your MP3 file into PCM format.
This saves work, encoding time, and disk space, and preserves the original quality because nothing will be re-encoded. Moreover, MP3DirectCut lets you control many attributes of your MP3 files: pre-listing functions, MP3 visualization, VU meters, easy navigation, fading, and volume adjustments. Note: it’s usually needed to run the installer "As Administrator".
