Pros

  • Does cut and join files as advertised
  • Is completely free

Cons

  • HORRIBLE interface
  • Random syntax for cutting may be too foreign
  • Unpleasant theme and menus

MP3 cutter and joiner is a piece of free software that promises to do just what the title suggests: cut and join MP3 files.

There are lots of tools out there that cut and join MP3 files. However, most of them are cumbersome software suites that require a lot more resources than are necessary. This single-purpose program uses the bare minimum to complete its tasks. The MP3 cutting feature works quite well. After the user loads in a valid MP3 file, a slider appears. The user can adjust the start and end of the MP3 file and preview what the output will be before the process is finalized.

The joiner also works in a similar fashion but feels oddly disjointed from the cutter. The joining process is very clear-cut and straightforward, but it's nothing that isn't provided by pre-existing programs.

Perhaps the biggest complaint about this program is the interface. It looks extremely old, and it can be cumbersome to use at times. It looks like elements from many different themes were thrown together, and no attempt was made to format them. The messiness of the interface can get in the way of using the program, and it's hard to recommend something that has such an awful GUI.

Finally, if you're looking for a basic cutter and joiner, this tool may be for you. Some more novice users may be confused by the arbitrary syntax that sometimes needs to be entered to fine tune cuts (notably with a missing help section). However, most users would benefit from finding a more modern program.
