MP3 file edit: Cut, Copy, Paste & Join

I have a audio track in one MP3 file, length A-B-C-D-E in total.
I am interested to do a cut, paste and join.

What software would you recommend?

Let say I wanna cut out from point C to D and rejoint A-B-E.
How do I do it? Any software able to do that?

And the same time perhaps, I just want point C to D of the MP3 audio.
How do I copy this portion out as a new MP3 file?

Hope you guys is able to help. Thanks.

P.S. A detail 'How to do it' would help. Thank you very much in advance.

 

With Audacity that's easy:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

You also need Lame MP3 Encoder, if you want to save your MP3 files:

When you open the MP3, select from C to D (like selecting text from document) delete those parts and save the rest file: "File" -> "Export as MP3..."

And if you want to save the C to D part, simply open the original MP3 again, select and delete A, B, and E parts.

 

use adobes audition that thing is sweet

 

Audacity is free, open source and easier to get

 

you can always just find a cracked adobe audition which is better than the free ones

 

Thank you. <Devenec>

.

When it is saved, what format is it saved into, that needs to be Exported to MP3. Could other software be used for the export/convert besides Lame on the edited saved file?

Thank you again.

 

One thing to keep in mind, Audacity is going to [bold]reencode[/bold] the file that you save. It is always best to get a program that doesn't reencode the file. MP3DirectCut is a free program that will work for you. You can get here.
