Free MP3 Cutter helps you slice off any unnecessary parts of an MP3 track you don't want. The program has no extras but does what it is supposed to do well.

This program's outdated layout isn't going to win it any awards. That does, however, mean it's easy to find the exact feature you're looking for. It's hard to say if that's a testament to how simple the layout is or how lacking the program is in the features department. Free MP3 Cutter is just that: an MP3 slicing program. It will let you pick any start point and end point for a track and will wipe the rest away. It keeps your original file intact, but it won't let you save in any format other than MP3. It won't add any effects or change anything about the part of the track you cut out either.

The application is known for its fast processing speed. This means you can edit your audio files quickly and efficiently. It's particularly useful for tasks like creating ringtones, shortening audiobooks, or extracting specific clips for various projects. One of the best things about Free MP3 Cutter is that it is completely free to use. This makes it accessible to everyone without the need for any investment.

Using Free MP3 Cutter is straightforward. Here are the steps:

Open the Program: Start by opening Free MP3 Cutter on your computer.
Load Your MP3: Next, load the MP3 file you want to edit into the program.
Play the MP3: Play the audio in the program. Listen to find the part you want to cut.
Select the Segment: Use the controls at the bottom of the interface to select the part of the audio you want to save as a new file.
Cut and Save: Once you select the part, cut it from the original file. Save it as a new MP3 file.

You can repeat these steps for different parts of your audio file. This makes Free MP3 Cutter a handy tool for managing your audio files effectively.

Bottom Line

Don't mistake this program for a serious audio editor. If you're looking for a program like that, you'll have to keep searching. However, if you're looking to carve some excess bulk from a song, Free MP3 Cutter is a fine choice. It does exactly what you would expect it to, and does it without any hiccups.

Works well with no errors
rhall743October 26, 2017
Pros
I have split hundreds of songs from single file complete albums without a single problem. (I use the paid version) I run this program on Linux using wine and on Windows 7. Very happy with this product!
Cons
It would be nice if it would preserve the initial setup.
Summary
Good product, Good price for the upgrade. Easy to use. No, I don't work for this company.
Could Not Have Worked Better
CandcgSeptember 21, 2015
Pros
- Did exactly what it advertised, lets you take a section from an mp3 file and turn it into its own mp3 file - Worked excellently on the files I cropped (YouTube mp3 rips) - No Add-ware or hijacks (Avast, Chrome) - Great UI
Cons
- Cannot merge mp3 files or combine multiple different sections from the same file - Both the save and open file windows share the last known location in file explorer, which is annoying if you are trying to maintain backups - Similarly, adds "- part" to the end of the save as file name as a default, more an annoyance than a con
Summary
I shared none of the problems of the other uses, my mp3 files got smaller and the bit-rate remained unchanged, I would definitely recommend this software (Win 10, Chrome, Avast)
Finally, an audio cutter that works with Windows 8!
Palikar26April 28, 2015
Pros
This is the 5th program I've downloaded and tried today, and the only one that worked as advertised with Windows 8. Easy to use, bars that move to where you want to begin and end, but also, timers that are very accurate to gauge where exactly to start and stop. The finished product sounded just as clear as the original also.
Cons
I didn't find any, for once.
Summary
Others complained of malware but I found none. Maybe they've eliminated that since the earlier reviews were written. I've had a hard time finding a program that was accurate and worked with Windows 8, but this did so, thank heaven. I was ready to scrap the entire project after downloading and uninstalling numerous programs that didn't work or that would not install without serious malware that one couldn't escape. This worked great for me!
Just what is needed for creating ringtones
PacManKillsAugust 6, 2014
Pros
Simple. Works like a charm. Stable.
Cons
Lame interface
Summary
Does not work.
xJebixDecember 9, 2013
Pros
None. -
Cons
It wants me to download a newer version of Windows Media Player.
Summary
It wants me to download a newer version of Windows Media Player in order to work. Why would I want to download WMP when WMP don't work on my pc? The description says nothing about needing a WMP update in order to work. I have downloaded 6 programs so far and not one has yet to cut a one hour peace of mp3 track I have. Worthless.
Ads on a bunch of unwanted ad-ware
May 20, 2013
Pros
free, easy to use
Cons
The program ad on a bunch of unwanted ad-ware to your computer when it is installed. This junk is added on even though I deselected the options of adding any else but the program when I installed it. It changed my search engine and added it's installed search engine to my browser toolbar. Now I also have a bunch of unwanted ads popping up. Even though I uninstalled the program all the garbage that program installed on my computer remains. DON"T INSTALL THIS PROGRAM!!!
Summary
Full of ad-ware, hijackers and other unwanted Mal-ware!!
Resulting File 80% Bigger!
asdfsafasddgasgMay 3, 2013
Pros
It works easily and quickly.
Cons
-The file created is way way bigger than the orignial!? -Loads junk on your computer and takes over your browser even if you deselect those choices. Shame on you Cnet!
Summary
First off, my browser was hijacked after installing it. There are choices to load toolbars and Home Page re-directors, of which I deselected all of them. I had to do this a number of times and the font was really really small. It loaded 3 different programs on my computer, other than the MP3 Cutter, closed browser, and my Firefox thought is was loading on my machine for the first time when I restarted it. I uninstalled all of it and got it from another site. That site tried to install it's hijacking stuff, too, but deselecting there did prevent it from being installed. Also, when I uninstalled it the first time, it left 2 files in a folder with it's name. The program works fine and quickly and I actually liked it's efficiency and ease of use. However, reducing the size of 30-50 MB files was my purpose, since there were 10 to 30 minutes of silence on them - I was converting lectures from cassette to MP3. Unfortunately, the resulting files were 75% or more larger than the original! I saw someone mention in a comment that the bit rate was 227kbps! Mine were recorded in 64. There is no way to change this in the program, so if your like me and are cutting just a voice file, then this is no good.
Just What I Wanted

Cons
