Over the last decade, the world has shifted from music downloading to music streaming. This switch makes a lot of sense.
But there are good reasons to keep downloading music, especially if you can’t have the music you’re streaming. Bandwidth concerns are another, which is why many users still download YouTube videos as MP3s.
One bonus of downloaded music is that you can edit files, such as trimming extraneous bits (annoying intros or outros) or mixing multiple songs into a personal mega-mix. If you’re interested in that, here are the best free tools for the job.
mp3DirectCut (Windows)
Supported formats: AAC, MP3.

What sets this app apart from most is the fact that it directly manipulates audio files without having to decompress them first. This not only results in a faster workflow, but also preserves the original audio quality as there is no need to recompress.
Other notable features include ID3 tag editing, pause detection, batch file processing, automatic sharing of tracks by time value, and automatic filename and tag generation when splitting tracks.

Mp3Splt (Windows, Mac, Linux)
Supported Formats: FLAC, MP3, OGG.

Like mp3DirectCut, Mp3Splt can work on audio files without having to decompress them first, resulting in a fast workflow and no impact on audio quality. The app is much simpler: you just select a start and end time, then export those selections as separate audio files.
If you have an entire album as a single audio file, Mp3Splt can automatically split using a CUE file that marks where each song starts and ends. Automatic splitting using pause detection is also available. Exported files can have their ID3 tags edited.
