MP3 Cutter Joiner
The program i am using here is available as a FREE TRIAL (allows 30 'cut tracks') or the full program is ₤13.55 use your favourite search engine to find it.
Right you have the program so lets load it up.
Clik on File then Add File browse your folders to where your full mp3 track is stored.
Select the mp3 file select Open now you will see your track listed.
OK now we are ready to select the part of the track to make our very own True Tone. Theres a few ways to do this but i suggest the following: -
Play the track all the way through. You will see in the Time column the tracks full time/length is 3:52.
Now we need to select about 10 to 15 seconds of music in order to keep the file size reasonable.
Now then to select that 10 to 15 seconds look above you will see 2 clocks marked with red arrows START and END
You can play the track all the way through and make a note of where you want to START and END or you can simply click on the START clock (during playback to select the start) and END clock (during playback to select the end) you will notice the time will appear next to the clock as above. Note i have selected 13 seconds TOTAL TIME.
Now press Cut and you will see the programme cut the track and automatically open the folder where your CUT file is stored.
Congratulations you now have a cut down ripped mp3 file ready to up to your phone.
NOW you know basicaly know what to do lets look at getting that file size smaller!!
Click on Settings at the top
Now you will notice the above picture is DIFFERENT to yours, this is simply due to the default settings i changed mine.
Just simply click on the drop down box next to channel and select MONO no need for stereo. Now look at the bitrate once more click on the drop down box now this time its set at 128Kbps and goes all the way down to 8Kbps the lower the bitrate the smaller the file but you will suffer quality loss.
Simply try for yourself through trial and error as to which bitrate suits the size of the file and quality wanted /needed.
