Thank you. The user's manual has more than 400 pages. I have a dozen audio ogg files and I need a tool as simple as scissors  |

The most basic edition. Simply delete part of the file. I found such software. This is, unfortunately, payable. Audacity does not work without re-conversion. In my opinion, there is simply no such software, freeware.

Reaper isn't technically free but you can use it indefinitely. Barring that, I'll edit the files for a dollar each.

I don't think you can edit a lossy-compressed file directly. When I need to make a change to an MP3 file I make the change, then save it as a Wave and accept that it's now larger.

Sorry about that:
"GiliSoft Video Editor is very powerful ogg Splitter and ogg Cutter, split ogg, cut ogg without re-encode, So It is very fast and without any quality loss."
"1 Year/1 PC $49.95 Special Price $39.95"
"Lifetime/1 PC $59.95 Special Price $49.95"
So it is possible without re-conversion. But it costs. You can cut mp3 files for free without re-encoding with mp3DirectCut.

Oh wow, fabulous. And surely worth $50 for people who will use it often. I wonder how they do it with no quality loss. My understanding (wrong I guess) is that this sort of encoding is continuous. So it's not like a series of individual samples.

That's a good point. Maybe we're not aligning our definitions. Naturally, a COmpressed file needs to be DECompressed but doesn't necessarily need to be transcoded i.e. from .ogg to .wav.

From the practical side it looks like this. The mp3 (or ogg) file when you cut it, it's like cutting a piece of audio tape with scissors. This must be the construction of the file. You can delete a fragment, you can cut out a fragment, you can also divide a file in half or many pieces. Something like a text file copy, paste. |

When a compressed file is decompressed, that's the same as converting it to a Wave file. At least I think so. But if that company claims its software can edit files without re-encoding, I'll believe them and be glad to have learned something.  |

Alright, I asked a reaper guy. He said it converts on the fly. There you have it.
