Audacity (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux)
Audacity is a digital sound editor and recording software for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. You can record audio from the microphone, line input or other sources, dub over existing tracks to create multi-track recordings, convert media from one format to another (such as from cassette tape or vinyl records to digital recording files or CDs), import and export from WAV, AIFF, AU, Ogg Vorbis, MP2, MP3, etc, edit Ogg Vorbis, MP3 and WAV sound files, cut, copy, splice and mix sounds together, change the speed or pitch of a recording, remove static, hiss, hum or other constant background noise, alter frequencies with equalization, FFT Filter, Bass Boost effects, adjust volumes, add effects such as echo, phaser, reverse, and so on.
- mp3DirectCut (Windows)
The problem with editing MP3 files with some sound editors is that they usually decompress the file before allowing you to change it, and then recompress it again when you are through. While this is necessary if you are performing complex changes, sometimes you just want to split a file into small pieces, or cut/snip some small portion away from it, and this decompression/recompression business results in a lower quality file. MP3DirectCut lets you perform simple operations on MP3 file without the loss that accompanies decompressing/recompressing an MP3 file. The program lets you nondestructively cut, paste, copy, trim, crop, split your audio or music files, change the volume, normalise it, fade, and even record direct to MP3. Note that this Windows program can also work under Linux if you use Wine.
