 * hi i love your programs and i have a suggestoin. i own an FTP site and how about a program that checks for possible mp3 duplicates? that'd be very useful in saving space and stuff.
 * Your MP3 splitter is the only program I have found to do this that provides good functionality and is easy to use - congratulations!
 * I am looking for split mp3 program for very long time. I have about 80 tapes(90min)-->mp3 to split.Cause the contents of mp3 is bilingual(chinese & tibetan) so I have to cut it one after one by selection time. Without mp3 splitter I have to turn this mp3 into wav file then edit it. but you know 90min wav=1GB size.And then remp3 these split wav files. It spend too much resource,I have to buy a big Hard disk, upgrade my CPU and spent more and more time beside computer to do the repeating job.So thanks for creating such a good stuff.

 * The MP3 splitter is a great tool. The GUI looks nice too but spliting a large file doesn't work well. I have problems working with segments above the first hour.

MP3 Lister
"MP3 Lister is a utility that can generate attractive reports of your .mp3 files. It has a few interface quirks but is free and has lots of options. The output format can be HTML, plain text, Excel/CSV, or even custom separated. Launch the program, set options, and press the "Create List" button. All of the files in your desired folder and its subfolders are scanned. Info is automatically extracted from the files and arranged into columns that include song name, artist, time, file size, kbps, mode, album, and file path. A multitude of other data can be added as well. If desired, you can launch MP3 Lister from the shell context menu of a folder. There's a bit of German in the interface, but not in critical places; if you know "Ja" means "Yes" and "Nein" means "No," you shouldn't have any problems."

Review Information Rating : ****

Program Pros
 * Free
 * Fairly clean interface
 * Attractive output
 * Lots of options

Program Cons
 * Some German in the interface
 * "create List" should be "Create List" *
 * Should leave out the .wav extension by default *
 * Would look better if first letter of all button text and text next to check boxes started with an uppercase letter *

Note: *=fixed in v4.1

MP3 Splitter
"MP3 Splitter is a free utility that does exactly what its name suggests. It's a snap to use and produces split pieces that are actually viable MP3 files themselves. Browse for the MP3 file you want to slice up, and select the criteria for the operation. You can split by time or size, or enter starting and ending times to create a specific selection. You can even play your MP3 files from within the program interface. Other features include shell-extension support, self-joining split pieces, and MP3 ID tag preservation."

QuickEditor
QuickEditor is a free, simple-to-use ID3 tag editor. It supports the ID3 tag 1.1 standard and allows for multiple file tagging. Using the fairly clean interface, just choose the folder that contains .mp3 files, and they're all listed. Scroll through them to display their ID3 tags and easily make modifications. If you wish, QuickEditor can be made quickly accessible from the shell context menu of .mp3 files. You can also launch .mp3 files using your default player.
