Need help with mp3DirectCut

[Sunshowery]

Hi! I'm hoping someone who is familiar with mp3DirectCut (a free audio editor) can help me.
I'm having an issue where the program crashes every time I try to import an mp3 file that is over one hour long. Shorter files work fine, however.
I have googled the size limitations and it should handle up to 4 GB, and my files are definitely smaller than that.
Does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution?
Thanks.

I opened a 1 hour 16 minute mp3 in version 2.36 without any issues.
Something wrong with your source file?

I have tried re-downloading mp3DirectCut as well as older versions, but it still doesn't work. If others can import large files just fine, I think the problem lies with my computer.

I hope this isn't too off-topic, but are there any suggestions as to what could cause this issue?

A possible bad file, as I mentioned before. You've provided no specific info;
the file's size and bitrate could be relevant but you haven't mentioned them.

Why don't you upload one of these files so somebody else can take a look?

You can check your file for errors with this freeware: https://checkmate.gissen.nl

Using checkmate I found out my mp3s were actually corrupted. I now know what the problem is, thank you so much!

Welcome. I have been using it for many years for MP2 and AAC and it has never failed.

Another problem with mp3DirectCut. MP3 file opens ok but saved project file fails to open. MP3 file has been checked ok and both files are in the same folder. Is it possible to repair the project file?

Are you talking about the .mpd project file? It's simple text and can be opened in Notepad

Yes I spotted that and have managed to resolve the problem which was that the locations of some of the .mp3 files used were not properly referenced in the .mpd file. Thanks for your reply anyway.

Thanks for the update. A problem with mp3DirectDut, or possibly you moved and/or renamed the mp3 files
after the project was created?
