I don't think anything else than mp3 direct cut will allow you to edit the mp3 without re-encoding. And yeah, re-encoding does mean loss of quality. =/

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, yes.

CD -> MP3 #1 = loss of quality #1

MP3 -> WAV = just an increase in size

WAV -> MP3 #2 = loss of quality #2

What mp3 direct cut allows you to do is actually quite awesome, even in its limitation. I personally don't know of any other way to do it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, if you don't want a quality loss, nope, at least from my knowledge.

To decide if the clipping is more annoying than the loss of quality is up to you. Just avoid sharing the mp3 in the future. ^_^;

How ya doing, buddy?

It can also accept some video files for you to take the audio directly but I mainly use it to edit, extend, or mix. Hope that helps out bro.

If you had read the entire thread, you would know that what you describe involves a loss of quality.
