Because of the renewed interest in MP3 DirectCut, below are some
notes I've made for myself and later expanded for the new user to get
a start on using this helpful program.
HT H,
Jeff
MP3 Direct Cut is a free direct mp3 editor, splitter, cutter and recorder.
Download it from
http://www.mpesch3.de
Here are some notes for keyboard shortcuts for basic operation of this program:
Play and Stop by using the SpaceBar.
During playback, the F8 key will increase playback speed and F7 will
decrease it.
Rewind and fast forward using cursor left and right or page-up and page-down.
The latter two keys move in larger increments than the first two.
The number of frames each pair moves can be set via the configuration menu.
How to mark beginning and end points of a selection for deletion,
saving as a separte file, etc:
While playback is stopped,
Use the letter b to mark the beginning of a selection
Use the letter n to mark the end of a selection
The following commands use the numbers row above the letter keys,
not the numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard.
These commands move by frame. One frame is roughly a 38th of a second:
1: Move the beginning mark of a selection one frame to the left
2: Move the beginning mark of a selection one frame to the right
3: Move the end mark of a selection one frame to the left
4: Move the end mark of a selection one frame to the right
With the following keys, one can exactly hear, where the margins of a
selection are:
F5: Plays the two seconds before the beginning mark of a selection
F6: Plays the first two seconds of a selection
F7: Plays the last two seconds of a selection
F8: Plays the two seconds after the end mark of a selection
F9: Plays a portion of the file around the selection as if the
selection had been deleted
To remove a selection one can press the delete key.
This does not touch the MP3 file.
It just modifies an MP3DirectCut index.
Therefore, cuts are made quickly.
There are also menu options and shortcut keys to save a selection
into a different file.
For instance, Ctrl-E will save the selection with the opportunity to
choose its own filename.
and Ctrl-W will save the entire audio using the current name or edit
it to something different.
To split an MP3 file, which consists of a complete album, one can use
the pause detection feature, which can be reached via the menu system.
It will set a marker before each song. These markers are actually
selections with a length of zero.
To check the markers, one can go from one to the other with Control
cursor right and Control cursor left.
The file can then be split according to the markers.
Or one can save a cue sheet file or an MP3 DirectCut project file.
Both would contain the markers.
With these marker files, one can easily find certain positions in an MP3 file.
To go to a specific time position within the audio file, use Control-p.
The displayed edit box is a bit odd.
Don't delete the words in it, just modify the numbers for the
current file position.
One has to leave in place the apostrophes, which separate hours
minutes and seconds.
The program needs these apostrophes
Then, there are the recording shortcuts.
r: Opens the record dialog, in which sighted people can adjust the
recording level
p: Starts the recording, when the recording dialog is open
s: Stops the recording.

Hi,
Are Mp3 direct cut and avs software the same thing? If so, he
program gave me all kinds of extra files to download, and then I
couldn't get the program to speak at all. I am using
Window-eyes 7.52. Are there any other programs which split mp3 files?
Thanks.
