AD MP3 Cutter

AD MP3 Cutter is a straightforward application for splitting audio files, precisely MP3. Why would you want to split audio files? Apparently, for all kinds of purposes — entertainment, work, advertising, and the list can continue. Splitting can be done in a handful of ways with this app, including visual splitting backed up by a waveform file display.

If this is your first MP3 splitter, you might want to take your time learning the basics. Start by adding the file you wish to cut in. Use the waveform graph to prepare cuts within the larger file. The buttons may not have very intuitive placement but are clearly labeled, so you just have to identify them.

Each cut is added in the preview panel below the waveform. Time frames are added to inform about their span, including duration, and title. On the left-hand side, the splitting settings are available for selection. Visual splitting stands at the top of the list, as it's the only method that allows users full control over the file.

The remaining methods are limited in what they can provide but might come in handy in certain situations. Splitting into equal parts, for example, can be done in two ways. By size or by time. Input the desired number of parts, and the app will split your MP3 accordingly. The last method is splitting by silence, and this one might be more useful than it seems at first sight. If you have files with silence gaps, you can let the app eliminate them, reducing their size by cutting the extra weight.

ID3 tags are metadata containers accompanying all MP3 files. Information about the artist, album, genre, released date, and title can be found within such a container. The tags can be rewritten on every split part. Use the right-side menu to add new metadata to newly created files.

AD MP3 Cutter might have a vintage look to it, but the features it offers are still relevant. At least the visual splitting aspect along with the metadata editor is not going to get old too soon. Unless you want a fully-fledged audio editor, this program can help with all your splitting tasks.
