Audio software maker Rogue Amoeba has released Fission, which lets you trim and split audio files quickly and easily with no quality loss. It costs $32 and is available for download as a demo version now.
Fission lets users work with mono and stereo MP3, AAC, Apple Lossless and AIFF audio files. Practical applications for Fission include removing unwanted audio, such as commercials, from audio you want to keep, applying audio fade in and fade out effects, creating MP3 and AAC ring tones for your cell phone, splitting up long recordings into multiple files and more.
System requirements call for Mac OS X v10.4 or later. Fission is offered as a Universal binary that runs natively on PowerPC and Intel-based Macs. Discounts are available if you already own a license for Rogue Amoeba’s Audio Hijack Pro software.
