Cool MP3 Splitter & Joiner for Windows

Used Cool MP3 Splitter & Joiner for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffOctober 9, 2015

This audio application breaks no new ground, but it does win our praise for its ease of use. Cool MP3 Splitter s main job is simply to chop MP3 files into smaller segments, but you ll also find a tool for joining as many songs as you want. If you re merging tunes, you can specify the audio quality of your new file, but you can t alter the bit rate when slicing up MP3s. Splitting files is an intuitive process, as a step-by-step-wizard walks you through the process of adding a track, then choosing whether to split by selection, size, or time. If you pick the first option, Cool MP3 Splitter will play the song and let you click as many breakpoints as you like. However, users who prefer other audio codecs are out of luck, as this application only supports the format found in its title. If you just need a quick way to chop and join audio files, Cool MP3 Splitter gets the job done.

Summary
Does what it says, but....
lynxcubNovember 21, 2006
Pros
Does what it says in a simple interface. <p>1) Splitting by size is the most common option I use. <p>2) The Joining feature is nice, but takes a bit to get used to it.
Cons
Select your source file, but be mindful of the bitrate. <p>1) If you split by time, its calculations is based on 128 kbps, so, if you have a 64 bitrate file (common audio book) that the calculations are way off. <p>2) Adding "break points" by selection, is a tedious task. <p>3) 7-day trail isn't long enough for most people to evaluate this program.
Summary
Big whoop...it splits, it joins.

Pros
Yea, it splits and it joins. It joins and it splits. But there are tons of other programs, with a lot more features that do this plus more. However, I give it 3 stars because it does what it says, doesn't seem to have any conflicts with my computer, and uses a small amount of computer resources while active.
Cons
I don't see why someone would pay for this when there are other programs that do a lot more. My advice to the creator is to make it free but with ads in the corner that don't bother anyone but may pick up some pay-per-clicks.

Not all options work

Pros
I like the price, and the UI is clean and simple to use. The "Split by Size" option worked very well.
Cons
The slider bar for breaking the mp3 apart didn't work. I tried email support, but the message came back bounced. The Split by time didn't work either.

DONT PAY FOR THIS! YOU'LL LOSE YOUR MONEY!

I paid for this product via paypal a week ago and still haven't received the license to unlock the software! Their support email address comes back as undeliverable and they ignore emails I've sent to them at other addresses. Don't get screwed like I did!
Summary
Works OK but the budget price will cost you time

Pros
Does what it's supposed to, no more.
Cons
No waveform graphics - you have to listen to the file to find your breakpoints. For $15 more, you can get another product that will save you hours.
Summary
Buyers beware - no product support.

Pros
Great program when it works.
Cons
I switched pc's and had to reload software. My registration information does not work. Yaosoft will not respond and Regsoft keeps passing me back to Yaosoft. I have sent multiple emails for over one month, with no solution or help.
Summary
Do NOT Buy This! Paid for this and got ZIP

Pros
I liked the trial version so I paid for it through PayPal. That's the last I heard of them.
Cons
Never got the full version or the key/code through email as promised. After 3 calls to the sales company and numerous emails I am about to file for a refund from PayPal! What a freaking hassle! Don't bother, it's not worth it!
Summary
works kind of well

Pros
the breakpoint feature is great, perfect for splitting jobs where different times between splits are needed.
Cons
the trial only allows 3 breakpoints total for the breakpoint feature, which doesn't make me want to buy the product at all. Also, the time feature doesn't work at all. Maybe it was just my computer but it refused to make new files when using this feature.
Summary
Doesnt split where you want it to at all, manually inputting the time is a joke

Summary
1. when you attempt to split the mp3 by typing in the times, it only lets you split the mp3 in equal segments. so you could split it every 3 minutes, but you couldnt split it at 2:14, 5:36, 9:34, etc. 2. when you try and play the mp3 itself and set a split point like that, then you can listen and then click a point easily.. however, the timer on this program is woefully inaccurate, and manually trying to move the bar is horribly flawed and always puts you in the wrong position. this basically means you listen to a track, hear the point you wish to set a break at, then attempt to scroll back a tiny bit, when you try and scroll back it takes you either 4 minutes behind, or 2 minutes AHEAD of where you want to be (that's an actual example) i found this program unuseable, i struggled with it for about 30 minutes and managed to split off a single bonus track from another song, and take out the gap between them. i still havent found a decent program to do what i want it to do :/

Developer’s Description

Split MP3s into smaller files by section, and split by time or size.

Cool MP3 Splitter allows you to split an MP3 file into smaller files or join MP3 files to make a longer piece of music. You can split your tracks three ways: by section, by time, or by size. Whichever you choose to use, you should find it useful for creating audio CDs from your collection, and you can break up live songs from a recording of a concert into individual tracks. Also, the fade-in/-out feature can smoothly goes from full volume to zero volume or from zero volume to full volume in zero to 30 seconds. Version 2.02 adds new open dialog.
