Conclusion: For anyone looking for some basic editing and track separating, mp3DirectCut is a free and easy way to edit and record MP3s with no quality loss and a really low encoding time. But despite its impressive speed, this software will prove a little too lightweight for those looking to roll their sleeves up and do some serious editing.
