Everything You Need to Edit MP3 Files

Free Audio Editor shows your MP3 as a zoomable stereo waveform, so every edit is precise:

  • Cut, trim and split — select a region and delete, copy or trim to it; edits snap to zero crossings to avoid clicks.
  • Fade in, fade out and crossfade — smooth starts, endings and joins.
  • Make it louder — Normalize, Compressor, Limiter and loudness matching.
  • Remove noise — voice noise reduction and the Repair Studio for clicks, hum and clipping.
  • Join MP3 files — paste one file into another or combine tracks in the Multitrack Mixer.
  • Edit ID3 tags — title, artist, album, lyrics and cover art.
Free Audio Editor — ID3 tag editor reading MP3 metadata: artist, title, album, year, genre, track, comments, lyrics and embedded cover art.
