I need the safe & best mp3 cutter and joiner for my PC, any suggestions?
If you want to cut MP3 files but don't want to use third-party tools, the built-in functions of the Windows system can help you complete simple MP3 cutter and joiner work. The following are three methods that do not require additional software installation and are suitable for novices.
Method 1: Use the "Recorder" that comes with Windows (simple cut MP3)
The "Recorder" that comes with Windows 11 can help you easily cut MP3, which is very suitable for beginners.
- Open the [Recorder] application and click to import the file you want to cut MP3.
- Play the audio, find the starting and ending points you want to cut, and click the "Cut" button to adjust.
- After the cutting is completed, save the file and get a new MP3 file.
Advantages: easy to use, no ads.
Disadvantages: can only cut, not merge.
Method 2: Use Windows Media Player to merge audio
Although Windows Media Player does not support direct cutting or merging, you can merge MP3 files through the playlist function.
- Open Windows Media Player and create a new playlist.
- Drag multiple MP3 files into the playlist and arrange them in order.
- Use a recording tool (such as the built-in sound recorder in Windows) to record the playlist and merge it into one file.
Advantages: No need to install any tools, simple operation.
Disadvantages: There are many steps, and the sound quality may be slightly affected.
Method 3: Use Command Prompt (CMD) to join MP3 files
If you are not afraid of command lines, you can merge multiple MP3 files directly in CMD.
- Put the MP3 files to be merged in a folder and make sure the file names are simple.
- Press Win + R and enter cmd to open the command prompt.
- Enter the folder path in the command prompt:
cd folder path
Enter the following command to merge the MP3 files:
copy /b 1.mp3+2.mp3+3.mp3 output.mp3
Here output.mp3 is the final merged file name.
Advantages: Completely free, no additional software installation is required.
Disadvantages: Requires a certain command line foundation and cannot be accurately cropped.
Use a recording tool (such as the built-in sound recorder in Windows) to record the playlist and merge it into one file.
Thanks . . . but, how do I do that? 😾
