My understanding is that Audacity <http://audacity.sourceforge.net/> is 
not an MP3 editor as such. By "MP3 editor" I mean a tool which edits an 
MP3 file _without_ decoding it (e.g., MP3 Trimmer). AFAICT, what 
Audacity does is import (i.e., decode) an MP3 file (using madlib), edit 
the resulting audio file, and then re-encode it to MP3 (if an MP3 
encoder is installed). In other words, what all audio editors do.
