Simple MP3 Editors: Any Recommendations?!

Message Bookmarked

I know that there are WAV editors, but are there any programs that directly allow one to fade in/out...isolate parts of mp3 files etc. directly?

looks like this one can get kind of pricey...any others?

Quicktime Pro will let you do basic editing (cut and paste, delete sections, but no fade-in/out) from within Quicktime Player. Plus, you get rid of that annoying message.

Mp3 Trim pricey? Free? Works fine for me though it does have a limit in that it can't deal with files greater than a certain length (8min, 11min or something like that) unless you register or some such. but, it does what you ask (unless I don't get what you mean by directly), for free.

no, you're right that it's fine for most purposes. i'm trying to extract some highlights from a 30+ minute mp3 mix. But i'll work something out.

The Acoustica MP3 Audio Mixer works wonderfully for me. And it's free. It's supposed to be a limited trial version or somesuch, I think, but I've been using the version I downloaded for about a year now.

And it works w/long files.

Audacity has always worked fine for me.

For MACs, Audacity seconded.

For PCs, Sonic Foundry's SoundForge is great. It might be a little more complex than what you're looking for, but its versatility is pretty impressive. You can download a trial from their website and then do a quick Limewire/ Kazaa search for serial #s and end up with a permanent working version, or at least that's what I hear.. Not that I would know from personal experience or anything.

Audacity works with long files? I may have to check that out (split last track + hidden tracks apart, the ones that have like 7 minutes of silence inbetween that MP3 trim cannot handle). but the acoustica link leads only to this thread. you mean i gotta track this down on MY OWN?

I would also vote for Audacity.
