What's Mp3, why split Mp3?

Short for MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group) Layer 3, MP3 is one of the most popular music formats used today. It is a compressed audio format with only 1/11 of the original file size, making it very easy to download, transfer and share.

Splitting MP3 songs is widely used when you want to:

• Cut specific tracks to make ringtones for your smartphones
• Remove blank space from audio files recorded online
• Remove or trim a music file in order to make it better and save the space
• Customize your music files so as to enjoy them even more
