Audio File Cutter 4.0

Audio File Cutter is an intuitive application that offers a simple and straightforward functionality – the ability to extract audio segments from any WAV, MP3, WMA, and Ogg file without losing any of its original quality and properties. Alternatively, you can tell the program to re-encode the fragment selected and save it in any of the formats supported following your own output settings.

Thus, you can use this audio cutter as a simple audio conversion tool – all you have to do is select the entire original file and an output format. (Not being a conversion tool per se, files can only be re-encoded one at a time.) The program’s interface is just as simple and accessible as the function it performs. Its one-window interface will ask to you open an audio file, select the start and end points, and click on the cutting button. This is as much as you can do with Audio File Cutter, though there are a few settings you can tweak for a more customized output. Thus, you can tell the program to transfer from the original file to the fragment selected all the metadata embedded in the ID3 tags of the input file. When re-encoding the original audio, you can also select a variable or a constant bit rate for the WMA, MP3, and Ogg output file.

This is basically it. Audio File Cutter is a nice and easy-to-use tool, designed to be accurate but not extremely accurate. Unlike other cutting tools, here you will only have accuracy down to the centisecond (down to the millisecond is the de facto standard for accurate cutting), and you will not have a waveform graph to help you visually with the selection of the start and end points – you will have to rely on your auditory skills for that. However, if it’s just quick and reliable audio cutting what you are after, this tool may well be everything you need.
