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.

"Simple, effective and easy to use"
Version: MP3 Trimmer 2.9.3
Pros
Trim and remove, fade-in and fade-out excellent
Cons
However there is a bug. Once you fix a song to your way you can't reedit again
Summary
Once you edit your file(s) you cannot reedit them again... you will get error message as mp3 is corrupt.
I'll give you example: After I batched several mp3 files and I deleted originals. I wanted to extend (Fade-Out) life from 4.0s to 10.0s, I couldn't, I get error after error after....
<b>Warning:</b> Do not delete Original files until you are fully satisfied. -
"Free and works as described!"
Version: MP3 Trimmer 2.9.5.0
Pros
Work as described and easy and intuitive to use!
Cons
Could use larger buttons and use more screen real estate to make it easier to use.
-
"Works but kinda wierd"
Version: MP3 Trimmer 2.9.5.0
Pros
Strange app that has no "save" button. You either have to use a keyboard command or go to a dropdown menu. And the standard keyboard command is not called "Save"
Cons
Also strange in that if you drop a file on it when it's in the Dock, it doesn't open and use the file. You then have to go to the place where the file is and drop it again.
Summary
Very simple and straighforward sound file cropping app. Does not mess with original file, allows metadata to stay with cropped file.

"Does just want its supposed to do, and does it well"
Version: MP3 Trimmer 2.9.5.0
Pros
audio preview of trim on both sides is very helpful
Cons
Doesn't wash my dishes. :) Seriously - its called 'MP3 Trimmer'. It Trims MP3s. What's not to like!

"Simple, reliable, easy trim and cleanup of mp3 files"
Version: MP3 Trimmer 2.8.9.1
Pros
Small, fast, easy to use.
Reliably remove unwanted lead-in and trailing silence, or sounds.
Allows me to setup a fade-in or fade-out on recordings that start or end too abruptly.
Cleans and helps repair 'broken' mp3 files.Cons
While easy to use, there is a short learning curve to understand the keyboard and concepts. Not really a con, as any program probably has similar need.
Summary
I have used this product from its early versions - liked it so well that I registered it quite a while back. It continues to improve and refine over the years.
It is very reliable and accurate on allowing me to :
- Trim or remove unwanted silence at beginning or end of song,
- Trim or remove unwanted sounds at beginning/end of any mp3 file,
- Lets me add custom shaped/length fade-in and fade-out,
- Will help to repair 'broken' mp3 files,
- can split long tracks,
- does all this without re-encoding - so original sound quality is retained.
I use it on music files, and also on recordings made from internet 'radio' and audio conference files.
(this probably sounds a lot like the program description, but I really have used it to do all these things on my various mp3 audio files.)
Highly recommended. Mac platform only, as far as I know. -
"Fission is now offering serious competition"
Version: MP3 Trimmer 2.7.5
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I have been a long time fan and promoter of MP3 Trimmer. It certainly is still excellent value for the money.
I have however now bought Amoeba's <b>Fission</b> which clearly outclasses this as both an editor and for making equalising adjustments to encoded audio. Fission handles a much wider range of encodings (AAC, MP3, Apple Lossless & AIFF) and has far superior visual feedback and precision in snipping and joining. By comparison MP3 Trimmer is much more hit and miss and overall clumsy to navigate.
I have used MP3 Trimmer to concatenate (join) audio tracks, a sort of tack on feature which never really advanced despite my feedback.
It does this via a too-small pop down pane from the main window.
Items dragged in from list view come in out of order. Some tracks lose part of long file names making them hard to identify. It balks at different bit rates and is extremely clumsy when batch joining files, as it hides the names of files whilst working on them then closes the pane, forcing you to reopen it to continue with other files.
The odd user interface extends to simple things like the <b>Enter<b> key doesn't <b>OK<b> a join, it deletes a file from the list. I would have thought that is what the <b>Delete<b> key would be for. The supposed inclusion of IP3 data, I found to be erratic at best and required a check box to be ticked every time to work. It doesn't pick up on the file names when saving and as I said has stayed very basic.
Fission is slower joining files but has only just introduced this as a feature, I presume at my request. It does let you do this more visually and you have the opportunity to join files of different bitrates and then save them back at lower bitrates, where this takes me an extra trip to iTimes with MP3 Trimmer.
Fission is more expensive but does do a lot more formats and adjustments. It seems much more polished as well. It is still very new but will improve, judging by the quality of it's sister product Audio HiJack Pro.
Try both before buying. -
"Great Application"
Version: MP3 Trimmer 2.5.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
MP3 Trimmer is easy to staight forward and easy to use. The interface has everthing you need in the place you would expect it. I have used it several time to edit long Podcasts from NPR down to just that interview I want to save, or share with others. A great value for very modest price. -
"Includes Built-in MP3 Repair Utility"
Version: MP3 Trimmer 2.5
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I downloaded a passel of MP3's that all had several seconds of extraneous material at both ends, and anticipated a lengthy session with MP3 Trimmer to clean them up, Imagine my initial distress when the app reported an "error while analyzing the MPEG data," quickly turning to surprise and delight when with one click of the mouse MP3 Trimmer fixed everything. Wow! -
"Finally: the perfect solution to an old problem!"
Version: MP3 Trimmer 2.5
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Best way to edit MP3 files. I've been looking for an app like this for a long time. Downloaded it about 6 weeks ago, tried it and immediatly sent in my shareware fee. It does exactly what's needed, has a clear, simple to use interface. Good documentation, too. I couldn't be more pleased with MP3 Trimmer. -
"Ease of use: perfect"
Version: MP3 Trimmer 2.3.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I needed an app to extract three 55 minute long pieces of content out of a mp3-recorded 3 hours radio stream, discarding news/weather/traffic announcement to burn 3 standard audio CDs that can be played even on non-mp3 players. mp3trimmer did the job with such an ease of use, I even didn't have to read the documentation. The user interface is self-explanatory. Great app, money is on the way.
