MPTRIM also know as mp3trim http://www.mptrim.com/index.html
mpTrim is a simple and easy to use MP3 editor.
Use it to improve your MP3 collection.
What exactly can mpTrim do for you?
mpTrim can trim MP3s – removing silent or unwanted parts.
mpTrim can adjust the volume of MP3s. Volume change can be manual or automatic (volume normalization).
mpTrim can fade-in/out MP3s (to fix abrupt beginning/ending).
mpTrim can clean-up MP3s and recover wasted disk space.
mpTrim keeps the music quality intact, no matter how many times you process an MP3, because it works directly in the MP3 format without having to decode/re-encode. That also makes it very fast.
