How to Remove Parts of a Song from an MP3

If you have audio editing software, you can edit out parts of an MP3. By splitting portions of a track, you can isolate entire segments and delete them with a few clicks of the mouse. Some computers, such as Macs, come with audio editing software. However, most do not, so you may need to download an application from a third-party provider, some of which are available for free.

Use your mouse to click on the beginning portion of the segment you wish to cut. Use the key combination Apple+T to make a split. Use your mouse again to click on the ending portion of the segment you wish to cut. Use the key combination Apple+T to make another split. Click on this sectioned of segment you have created and press the "Delete" key.
