mp3cut [ -o outputfile ] [ -T title ] [ -A artist ] [ -N album-name ] [ -t [hh:]mm:ss[+ms]-[hh:]mm:ss[+ms] ] mp3file [[ -t ... ] mp3file1 ...]

The mp3cut utility cuts and assembles MP3 files according to the time specifications given on the command line. The mp3 output is written to the outputfile. If no outputfile is given on the command-line, the name for the outputfile is created from the name of the first mp3 file by adding output.mp3 at the end. The -t flag specifies which part of the mp3 file following it will be extracted.

-o outputfile

Specify where the output is to be written.

-T title

Specify the title ID3 tag for the output file.

-A artist

Specify the artist ID3 tag for the output file.

-N album-name

Specify the album name ID3 tag for the output file.

-t [hh:]mm:ss[+ms]-[hh:]mm:ss[+ms]

Specify which part of the following mp3file will be included in the output file.

      hh  = hours
      mm  = minutes
      ss  = seconds
      ms  = milliseconds

If the starting time is omitted, 00:00:00+00 is used as starting time. If the ending time is omitted, the end of the MP3 file is used as ending time.
