Publisher's Description
From deepNiner:
With MP3 Trimmer you can edit your MP3 files - fast and easy - without re-encoding. Select your trim in-point and out-point and save it as new MP3 file with exactly the same audio quality as the original! You may also add a smooth fade-in or fade-out to your new file, to eliminate abrupt beginnings or endings. Your original MP3 file is left intact.
What's new in this version: Another minor maintenance update. Most importantly, it takes care of the broken Version Checker.
In addition it takes care of some minor, non-critical bugs.

"Great utility for voice editing"
Version: MP3 Trimmer 2.9.6
Pros
Precise control, very convenient ability to test trims. Detailed, pro-type interface with full information. Does joins too. Uses standard editing keyboard shortcuts. One-step workflow for web audio clips while maintaining compact file size (see comments)
Cons
none for me
Summary
I use it for editing voice tracks and occasional music clips for websites, so the 128k bitrate limit mentioned in other reviews is no issue for me. Other editing solutions for this that I've tried, like Quicktime Pro and MPEG Streamclip, have a giant disadvantage: After you've made your trims and cuts, you have to save them as .mov files (Probably because of licensing issues with the company that owns MP3.)
Many embedded webpage audio players are very fussy about formats they can play back. They will play back .mov files in a browser on a mac, but on windows they will often freeze on .mov and will play only clean mp3 files.
As a result, you have an added step in your workflow: converting the edited .mov file back into mp3, and here's the big problem: all the tools I've found for converting .mov to .mp3 produce a <b>much bigger file </b> like around 2.5 to 3 times bigger. So a 20 minute audio clip that may have been 7 mb in the original mp3 recording, and maybe a 6 mb .mov after trims and cuts, becomes a 16 mb pig when converted back to mp3. And that can make web performance over slow dsl or 3G terribly sluggish.
This is the only product I've found that gets around this problem. It gives a streamlined, one-step workflow with optimized results. -
"OK if you like all your music encoded at 128 Kbps."
Version: MP3 Trimmer 2.9.6
Pros
Simple interface. Does what it promises, to a point.
Cons
Apparently only outputs to 128 kilobytes per second. I have most of my music encoded much higher than that, or VBR hovering around 200. The software will import it to work with it at higher bit rates, but only saves at 128. This is a huge omission, as we all know 128 is not the best quality (160 is the bare minimum for reasonable quality), and most other MP3 apps output to varying bit rates and even VBR. Therefore, do not delete or overwrite your original files. Also, "keep ID3 tag" selection is turned off by default for some odd reason. There are only barebones help files, especially for setting preferences; doesn't really tell what things do. And, apparently, support seems to be missing in action according to other review sites.
Summary
OK if you need stuff to trim and have a MP3 player without much space. However, it will not fix your original files and maintain their higher quality. If you want more control in editing (and saving to the original bit rate), seek out Fission. Not as idiot-proof, but audiophiles will be happier.
