## Questions

### Is the cut exactly where I asked?

Yes, to the frame. The range you type is decoded and re-encoded rather than sliced at the nearest compression boundary, which is what tools that promise an instant cut are doing when the result starts a moment early or late. The cost is that it takes a few seconds instead of none.

### Can I make a ringtone with this?

You can cut the section, and that is the part this does. Turning it into a ringtone then depends on the phone: Android generally accepts an MP3 dropped in a ringtones folder, while an iPhone wants a short M4A imported through a computer, which is why M4A is one of the output options here.

### Does it change my original file?

Never. The file you picked is read and left exactly where it is, and the trimmed version is a new file you save yourself. Nothing here writes to your disk without you pressing save.

### Why is there no waveform to drag?

Because drawing one means decoding the entire file before you can do anything, which on a long recording is a wait before the wait. Typing the seconds is exact, it works on a phone where dragging a handle is fiddly, and you can find the moment with the player above the boxes first.

### How do I keep the middle and drop both ends?

That is what a start and an end do together: set the start to where you want the audio to begin and the end to where it should stop, and everything outside is dropped. Removing a section from the middle instead means trimming twice and joining the two pieces.
