| Magic Cutter offer a quick way to automatically cut audio file by file size, pieces count, time duration, silences between the tracks or even associated CUE file. The silence detector, for example, can automatically split an audiobook into separate chapters or remove unwanted silence from your recording. The built-in CUE Splitter lets you split a large audio file, such as an album or DJ set, into tracks using data from the associated CUE file.
- Edit Audio Without Loss of Quality Edit your audio files without having to convert them! This means that the quality of your audio will remain unchanged no matter how many operations you do on it. - Manual or Automatic – Your Choice Sounds are visually represented in waveform, so you can visually position cut lines where you want to cut. You may not even need to perform any manual edits to achieve fantastic results! Special features offers a quick way to automatically cut audio file by file size, pieces count, time duration, silences between the tracks or even associated CUE file. - Locate and Split Silences The silence detector lets you split an audiobook into chapters or remove unwanted silence from your recording. - CUE Splitter The built-in CUE Splitter lets you split a large audio file, such as an album or DJ set, into tracks using data from the associated CUE file. - Split Audio by Size, Time or Number of Parts Magic Cutter offers a quick way to cut audio file by file size, pieces count, time duration or custom selections. - Remove Unwanted Content Remove unwanted content in manual mode or use silence detection feature to remove silences automatically. - Create great-sounding ringtones Create great-sounding ringtones with a single click using the Crop and Fade features. - Add Effects Magic Cutter allows you to easily add effects, including the ability to fade tracks in, and fade them out. - MP3 & AAC Magic Cutter supports both AAC and MP3 formats. Testimonials: Steven M. Johnson: “I wanted to thank you for creating such a great product. This is by far the best I have used. I can take a 30 MB audio file and split it precisely where I need it.” Scott Chapman: “Editing out unwanted noise and dead air could not have be easier. If you know how to cut and paste, then there is nothing new to learn! Cleaning up my recordings has never been this easy.” System Requirements: Mac OS X 10.6 or later. Intel Macs.

So, what does this buy me over Audacity? (Note, for $5, it doesn’t have to buy me much.)
I’m gathering from the write-up above, that it can natively edit MP3s by slicing at frame boundaries? (That would be enough.)
How does it add effects like fades without conversion?

Magic Cutter does not convert the data during editing. This means that the quality will remain unchanged no matter how many operations you do on it.
It also has CUE splitter and silence detector.

Yes.
>>How does it add effects like fades without conversion?
Magic Cutter modifies the special bits (global gain) in each frame of MP3 file. By modifying the global gain field of each frame, the volume of that frame can be modified without altering the audio data itself.

I’m currently testing the software. So far, I mostly like what I see. The interface is nice and simple, editing is indeed lossless (as far as I can tell), and the resulting MP3 files seem to be in good shape.
Unfortunately, however, the software is not well-integrated into Mac OS X. For example, you can’t drop MP3 or AAC files into Magic Cutter’s dock icon, and you can’t right-click an MP3 or AAC file to “Open with” Magic Cutter. The application doesn’t remember the location from which you last opened an audio file, and it does not have a menu of recently opened files.
That makes it unnecessarily cumbersome to get a file to open in Magic Cutter. But once that hurdle is taken, the software seems to work well.

Good answers posted within 2 hours of the question equals buy!
Is Magic Cutter developed with some cross-platform development tool? That would explain some of mfichtner’s OS X integration comments.
(The few times I’ve tried to write cross-platform apps, I’ve found it horribly difficult to meet user expectations on all platforms.)

The application is developed without using of cross platform tools (like Qt, Wx-Widgets etc.). As for the integration comments, we will try to implement them in the next version.
