OcenAudio supports MP3, WAV, FLAC, WMA, and many other audio formats.

2. MP3 Editor: Audacity

Audacity is free and also has to go for it, a simple and intuitive interface that is easy for beginners. It also has a surprisingly extensive list of features, options, and effects, including spectrographic analysis, undo/redo function, and more.

Audacity supports many formats, including WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP2, MP3, and OGG.

Section 2. Professional Quality Music Editors for Mac

Two pay music and audio editors for Mac we recommend are:

3. Music Editor: Wondershare Filmora Video & Audio Editor for Mac [Free]

Choosing a music editor for Mac, including the ability to edit and output to MP3 and MP4 formats, depends entirely on your needs.

If you need more robust functionality and professional quality, a pay program will offer more satisfying performance. Keep in mind the following questions when making your choice:

• How often do I need to edit music and audio?
• Do I need simple trim and edit features, or also audio effects?
