mp3DirectCut is a small, free tool for editing MP3 files. The program can be successfully used to create phone rings and more. The application offers useful options for quickly cutting, pasting, deleting, or changing the volume of a song without having to decompress audio files during editing.

This saves encoding time and preserves the original quality of the material. In addition, the program is equipped with a mechanism for recording sound and saving it to MP3 format using one of the built-in encoders (ACM or Lame encoder). Operation of the program is very simple, and in most cases it is limited to indicating a fragment of the work and performing the desired action.

Programmers have also made sure that mp3DirectCut can be used at the command line level.
