The program is guaranteed as safe and receives routine updates through the website. It also comes with free support for whatever questions you may have. With customers from over 100 different countries, the Cutter Joiner is a useful and valued application that makes organizing and editing music easy.

Supporting the major audio file types --including MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A, AAC, and WMA-- Elaker’s powerful editor is fast and easy to use. Its main screen is a file list where users add songs, move files up or down the queue, remove, or clear the list entirely. There is a built in player that allows you either listen to an entire song or the section you cut. You can determine fade in and fade out as well as format file type and output folder. Within settings, you can further determine the fading by either decreasing or increasing how long it lasts. It provides more options regarding the output. Formatting requires some knowledge, though. It lets you determine the quality as well as sample rate, bit rate, sample size, channels, and variable bit rate. If you end up changing things too much, you can always choose the default setting button and reset everything to the factory presets.

Along with the ability to cut and join songs, you can also use the convert feature to create ringtones for your phone. By being able to join multiple songs, you can create one file that is a playlist of your favorites in the order you want to hear them. You can also take out some of the worst songs of a CD, leaving you with only the tunes you like. The best feature is the fade in and fade out effect as this will keep song transitions smooth and remove jilted cuts that might otherwise ruin the listening experience. Advanced settings can take some practice and testing to figure out what works best but are simple enough to change and alter. Elaker MP3 Cutter Joiner is a great way to combine and edit your favorite music without the hassle and complexity of a full editor.
