Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Cut, edit, and mix your MP3 files with Data Becker's MP3 Editor. While MP3 files are easy to download and share, repeated use can damage files. MP3 Editor prevents such loss, and also lets you edit your MP3 files without first converting to another format.

This handy program is compatible with any MP3 file and supports variable bit rate (VBR) encoded files. You can format your files for recording onto CDs, edit and customize files without compression loss, eliminate abrupt cuts, and splice together your favorites.

The MP3 Editor's simple, clean interface and unlimited undo feature make it easy to use and quick to master. Multiple cascading windows offer quick file access. A range of options lets you play back and loop your MP3 files, adjust fade depth and duration, as well as uniformly increase and decrease volume levels.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Ideal Editor, October 5, 2001

This review is from: MP3 Editor (CD-ROM)

Most people do not need an MP3 editor, because they use songs ripped by others. However, if you are like me, who wants to convert all the collections from albums and cassettes to MP3, this is a must. I use MusicMatch JukeBox, version 6.1 for converting the whole side of an album or cassette to a large MP3 file. That file may be 20 to 50 minutes long, and it may contain many songs. After that, I load that file into this editor by Data Becker. I can visually see the separation of songs, and easily identify for cutting each one out. I haven't seen any other program with this capability. Also, this program is exceptionally fast. It reads the large composite file in a minute, and saves the individual pieces on your hard drive in just a few seconds. I was very pleased to see the speed. Also, there is no limit on file size. I left one speech to convert to MP3, went away, and when I came back, the file was 200 minutes long (amazingly over three hours long!) with most of it being blank. With any other program I would have started all over again rather than coaxing hours of headache reading and editing unwanted portion. But this MP3 Editor read the whole file in three minutes, removed the unwanted blank space in one minute, and saved the clean product back on hard drive in another couple of minutes. That one incidence alone was worth to me the price of 20 bucks + shipping. Now my dream is coming true, I will be able to convert all life's collection into MP3, most comfortably.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is ..., December 28, 2001

This review is from: MP3 Editor (CD-ROM)

This program is good at creating fade in/out, and might do splicing, but it does not do what they claim it will do.
In their advertising they say, "Dude. Who knows where that MP3's been? Clean it up. Kill clicks and beeps. Cut. Edit. Mix. Make it your own. And Enjoy."
It will not "clean up" an MP3. It is a cut and paste program. You can cut and remove a portion of the song that has a click, but it won't edit out noises, which is what I bought it for. And it has a somewhat difficult interface. This program ....

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding value, February 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: MP3 Editor (CD-ROM)

This is a great little program. I copy audiocassette books into MP3 files so I can listen to them on one burned disk rather than carry around a bunch of tapes in the car, and this program allows me to easily remove dead spaces and empty space at the beginning and end of the tapes. It's very easy to use and the applications are innumerable. You can cut and paste almost to the bit level. A terrific value.
