How to Crop an MP3 File

MP3 is an audio format. Many music files are saved in this format because the files are quite small, the quality is good and the file type is compatible with a range of devices. Most newer mobile phones allow you to use MP3 files as ringtones. If you wish to use only a small section of a file, you can crop it online.

      Direct your browser to the "Cut MP3" website. (See the Resources section.)
