Mp3 split program that allows for multiple cut-points before execution?

I'm not a huge fan or anything, FWIW...

Laughing Out Loud, until I realized...
it did not say "I'm not a huge fan of anything, FWIW..."

I also have mp3DirectCut, but I use Code-it Wave Mp3 Editor Pro 2011
If there is anything missing in the program, write the author. He will listen.

lol
Ah, another use for word verification image technology - inserting deliberate ambiguity into one's posts for humor and other noble purposes ;)

What I don't like about Audacity? Well, first let me say what I like about mp3DirectCut :)
It's interface might be quirky, but the thing that's important is that it can do the cutting without re-encoding the file. Not only is this a lot faster than re-encoding, but it also doesn't destroy quality, which re-encoding does. If there's other programs that can do this direct cutting, let me know - does Code-it do that, Curt?
Next, Audacity... ugh.
The user interface is extremely clunky - I can live with that, but it's definitely a turnoff. It's somewhat feature-limited compared to commercial audio editors, but that's fine as well, it's entirely suitable for some very light editing tasks.
There's a few problems, though. Like when working with compressed files, it requires the entire file to be decompressed before it will even *open* the file - and it always uses %TEMP% with no way of overriding the scratch directory. And it just generally seems pretty slow.
It's fine for small and easy editing tasks; I just can't help wonder why Audacity is thought of as the best opensource audio editor - isn't there anything better available?

No, it doesn't. Thanks for informing about this feature. I have been using Code-it because it is easier to use. I will try D'Cut again.

I'm having a hard time remembering a simple tool I used some time ago to cut MP3 (without re-encoding).
I'm guessing (*not at all sure*) it was the freeware MP3 Cutter Plus.
