Power MP3 Cutter is a classic, commonly used tool for users who wish to get creative as they work on various types of sound files. It enables users to cut tracks as they see fit, and do so without any prior editing knowledge. There are two different modes to choose from, Classic Power MP3 Cutter and Power MP3 Cutter Professional.

Classic mode is for the easier, beginner level cutting jobs. All of the functions for cutting are located on the same toolbar, which is the only one you will see. Making matters even simpler is that the user plays the file to figure out which parts they wish to cut.

For the more advanced jobs, MP3 Cutter is equipped with a Professional mode. It has all the same features as the classic mode, plus grants cutters the ability to add pauses to their tracks. The duration and positioning can also be altered. Additional sound files can also be inserted into the file being cut. The file is also able to be saved into a variety of formats, such as MP3 and WMA.

To make life even easier, a graphic representation of the file is visible on the screen while working. By dragging and dropping the mouse on the exact segment that is supposed to be cut, defining which portion of the file to cut is made simple.

  • Pros:
  • Users are able to switch between MP3 and WAV files. All tasks can be performed, and it is not necessary to leave the MP3 format.
  • Power MP3 Cutter contains an interface that enables cutters to record MP3s.
  • Transcoding and decoding is not needed during the editing process.
  • For those who are beginning or novice level users, the MP3 Cutter is simple and does not take much knowledge to learn how to use. It is possible to learn how to use the MP3 Cutter moments after beginning the first attempt at editing.
  • Locating the segment in which to cut is also very simple, taking almost no prior knowledge to learn.
  • The Power MP3 Cutter does not require very much of your PC. You can run other programs and function normally as you use the MP3 Cutter.
  • If you are currently operating on many different files with varying bitrates, the MP3 Cutter allows users to work anywhere from 32 kps to 320 kps. By doing so, this will preserve the audio's sound quality for the longest possible period.
  • Power MP3 Cutter displays times from the second down to the millisecond. When cutting the file, the MP3 Cutter enables users to tailor their cuts within that millisecond parameter, which makes for a perfect precision edit.
  • Cons:
  • Cutting can be time consuming for users of MP3 Cutter as only one segment of the audio file can be isolated for editing at a time.
  • In professional mode, the batch cutter aspect of the Power MP3 Cutter is unsupported.
  • MP3 Power Cutter is not a freeware. When using the segment definition, there is unsupported deletion.
