Q01: What can Free MP3 Cutter do for you?
A: Free MP3 Cutter is a composition of MP3 decoding and encoding. The main function of it is to cut out or recompress MP3 sound piece from big MP3 or WAV sound file (such as recorded MP3 audio). Because all the process is digital, so there is no quality losing. With Free MP3 Cutter, you can also do conversion between MP3 and WAV format, recompress MP3 audio to a smaller size, etc...
Q02: While attempting to convert a WMA file to WAV or MP3, the software does not seem to be responding. What could be the problem?
A: Unfortunately, a major inconvenience with WMA files at present is that many files are protected, or locked. As far as we know, protected WMA files cannot be converted with any software. Some WMA files are intentionally protected, while others are automatically protected upon creation by the producing software.
Q03: When I try to connect to the CDDB, nothing happens. What's wrong?
A: Please remember that you must be connected to the Internet to take advantage of the CDDB. If problems persist, there might be a temporary network problem with the CDDB itself or your ISP might be experiencing difficulties in establishing a connection with the CDDB.

Q05: Can all CD-ROM drives convert CD to WAV, MP3, or WMA?
A: Although most current CD-ROM drives can convert digitally, only CD-ROM drives that support the Redbook audio format and have a reasonable level of seeking accuracy can convert tracks from CDs to disk in digital format. Many older CD-ROM drives and some new ones do not support this capability.

A: You can add effects to any of your sound clips in Free MP3 Cutter by clicking on them. Then, each effect has presets and parameters that allow you to adjust the properties of the effect, and you can use the real-time preview feature to preview the results. When you're done, click "OK" to add the results to your creation.
Q07: Converting from CD produces poor results. What do you recommend to achieve the best quality output possible?
A: Conversion output quality is affected by two factors: CD-ROM drive and system processing power. For best conversion performance, do the following:
A: Avoid simultaneously running other applications which would drain the CPU's power (graphics programs, scanners, other compressors, etc.)
B: Avoid simultaneously running other applications which are write to the hard drive.
C: Certain conditions which cause the operating system to crash, such as low memory or several open windows, will also affect the quality of conversion output.
Q08: What is real-time MP3 encoding?
A: Free MP3 Cutter using real-time MP3 encoding for cutting sound, which means all the middle data is stored in the memory, it will not cost any disk space for the big raw audio data. For some old computer (such as Pentium 100), the CPU speed can't meet the needs of real-time MP3 encoding, so you can't record to MP3 directly, but you still can record to WAV format first, then convert it to MP3.

A: MP3 is a revolutionary digital audio format developed by Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and Thompson Multimedia in the late 1980s and brought to the mainstream through the Internet in 1997. MP3 is short for MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group) Layer - 1, the group that makes MP3 an international standard.
MP3 is a compressed audio format that allows for smaller file sizes with similar sound quality to PCM WAV format, the format found on normal music CDs you would buy in a store. Thompson and Fraunhofer helped develop the coding algorithm, or system of rules and processes, that encoded audio to this incredible format. For more on exactly how this encoding technology works, see our section entitled Inside the MP3 Codec.
