Question 1

How do I remove a part from the middle of an MP3?

Accepted Answer

Choose Remove the selection, then drag the handles around the part you don't want, such as an ad break, a cough or a mistake. Press Cut out and the audio before and after the selection is joined into one file.

Question 2

What's the difference between keeping and removing the selection?

Accepted Answer

Keep the selection gives you only the highlighted part, like a clip of a song. Remove the selection drops the highlighted part and keeps everything around it. The waveform shades the part that will stay.

Question 3

Can I cut out more than one section?

Accepted Answer

One section per pass. Download the result, drop it back in and cut the next section.

Question 4

How exact can the cut be?

Accepted Answer

The start and end move in 0.1 second steps. Type the times into the Start and End boxes and press Play selection to hear exactly what you selected before cutting.

Question 5

Will I hear a click where the parts are joined?

Accepted Answer

No. The two sides of a removed section overlap for 15 milliseconds and blend into each other, which is too short to hear but long enough to stop the click. For the most natural edit, start and end the selection in a quiet moment, like a pause between words.

Question 6

Which formats can I save the cut file in?

Accepted Answer

MP3, WAV, M4A (AAC), OGG (Opus), FLAC, AAC and Opus. The output starts out in the same format as your file, and lossy formats let you pick a bitrate from 96 to 320 kbps.

Question 7

Is the MP3 uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. The cutting happens in your browser, so the file never leaves your device. Free downloads go up to 100 MB per file.
