mp3DirectCut is a program developed to perform all kinds of tasks on your audio or music files in MP3 format and then further edit them or transform them into ringtones for your smartphone. Thanks to this simple and practical program, you can make the necessary modifications regarding these files without overloading your computer's memory.

This software is handy for all those users who want to perform tasks such as extracting a part of a song to set it as their predefined ringtone on their cell phones. However, it adds some other equally exciting functions, such as normalizing the volume of a song to make it much more even, avoiding startling, etc.

Starting with its most basic function of extracting pieces of songs concerning a complete track, we have to say that we found it extremely interesting to be able to remove all these fragments simultaneously. That is to say, mp3DirectCut allows us to mark several pieces of the songs we want to remove and then run the tool only once, obtaining all the fragments with just one click.

This is an entirely free platform, so you will not have to pay anything either to add more features or to be able to use it indefinitely; it is ideal for cutting files but also to modify the volume jumps that may have an audio track, considering that sometimes they have been recorded so that they have a much higher sound over the beginning or end of the track.

When we open the program, we find a rather classic interface, something obsolete probably for the taste of more than one user, which is nevertheless perfect when intuiting each option's location. The first thing we will have to do in all cases is to search among our folders for the music file in question and open it to start working on it.

Once we select a file in MP3 format to work on, mp3DirectCut will be responsible for opening it and displaying its characteristics, such as the high volume, through the classic time graph, which is usual in these applications. This way, you can corroborate if there are too many modifications regarding the intensity of the sound and if it is necessary to look for a normalization of the song.

Already with the music track open, you will see that under the primary graphic appear many of the functions that we can execute, as well as basic information about the file, such as the duration of the file, the percentage that has been played, etc. Of course, you can't miss the classic buttons, such as pause, resume, play, go to the next track, and all those we usually see in this case.

And when you have finished making all the changes you consider appropriate to your files, you can add ID3v1 tags to the files generated from this program. We are undoubtedly discussing an exciting alternative, considering that many users want to have as complete information about our music or audio files as possible.

The attributes of this program have also seemed especially useful to us. Although we won't delve into all of them here, you can use, for example, the space bar to start playback of the audio in question or pause it. Then, the various F commands on the keyboard will also allow you to fast forward the point of the audio or delay it by two-second fragments, as in the cases, respectively, of the F7 and F8 buttons.

You have to consider, to finish, and although its name is quite explicit, that this application works only with audio files in MP3 format, being unable to allow us to make modifications on others. Thus, you will need a format converter installed on your computer to work with audio files in another format. We emphasize this because some mp3DirectCut rivals have an internal converter.

What did we think of mp3DirectCut in general? An excellent program if you want to make quick edits to your MP3 files without looking for professional results or demanding too much in terms of its visual appearance. It is an efficient program that does not consume a lot of computer resources, performs its main tasks without inconvenience, and yields result almost immediately once our work is finished.

Undoubtedly, what we liked most is that it allows you to extract several previously marked fragments on the same audio, a batch task we believe many users will know how to value when the time comes.

Of course, a detail that we did not want to fail to mention is that, during the installation process of mp3DirectCut, we experienced a minor inconvenience. It is that the path generated by the software itself for its installation contemplates two brackets, which do not allow the finish of the process. You must remove these brackets from the installation path to finish the program's installation. Otherwise, you will not be able to enjoy the program.
