Hiya Magnus. I have some thought/request to you about mp3/ts.
Can you insert more detailed calculator in trimming mp3 files by m:s - like - m:s:ms.ms?:) It will be very useful not only to me, when I needed to remove some adverts (sic!;) from beginning of mp3 file or just to cut mp3 from the beginning to THAT precise time (like, 0m:05s:04.56ms) :) be waiting for answer. thank you:)

You can already do that in the current version. Examples of valid cut time specifications are:

1:05.024  (m:s format)
78.945 (s format)

There is one limitation though, but that is in the design of mp3 format, and not in Mp3/Tag Studio. You can only cut the songs in chunks of so called "mp3 frames" (one such frame is approximately 0.03 seconds). This is the smallest unit of sound data that can be extracted from an mp3 file (contrary to e.g. wave-files, where you can practically choose to cut it at any exact sample). Hence, Mp3/Tag Studio will automatically round the given time to the nearest mp3 frame.

Magnus - will it round up or down if the time specified is half a frame?

It will round to the closest frame border (up or down). If the cut point is exactly in the middle of a frame, it will round up, just like with normal integers.
