MP3 Cutter (for Windows) by KasterSoft is a practical and clear-cut MP3 editing tool. Built for use on Windows 8 and 10 systems, but compatible with all other Windows versions, MP3 Cutter is a quick 1MB download. Use MP3 Cutter to create custom ringtones, mashups, and audio clippings.
MP3 Cutter’s user interface is intuitively designed. The software is presented so simply; in fact, that it does not come with a help file.
Aside from the namesake MP3, MP3 Cutter supports .WMA and legacy .WAV audio files. Upon loading one of the three supported file formats, MP3 Cutter displays the relevant audio specifications (Hertz, bitrate); the metadata of the audio track, simple track editing tools, and typical save and load options. The metadata display fields in MP3 Cutter are editable, and the save function conveniently automatically exports this data with the MP3 while saving.
MP3 Cutter offers the ability to edit audio precisely with the ‘seconds’ or ‘milliseconds’ buttons or drag the mouse along the virtual audio track to set stop and start points. Standard play, pause, and stop buttons allow playback of spliced audio clips. Files are saved by default as MP, as this is the only output option available.
While MP3 Cutter lacks granular options — of any kind — for tweaking the audio quality of an exported file, it is a solid audio editing software for users with minimal needs. Download it today.
