mp3 editing lost quality?

[chen730]

I'm trying to find out if WavePad is the thing I need.

 

I need to edit some mp3 files. I want to cut, copy, paste and etc., and I need to save them maybe a lot of times (in the same setting). I'm wondering if my mp3 will recompress again and again and finally sound terrible.

 

 

Thanks!!

Please help!

 

I really need to know if wavepad is de-coding & re-coding mp3 every time it opens/saves the file. For otherwise, it seems to be the perfect choice!

 

It doesn't look like wavepad is a non-destructive mp3 editor from the help document, but my ear can't tell me any difference after I edited a mp3 file and saved it for over 20 times. I know in Soundforge, a couple of times of editing/saving will give a strange noise to the mp3. Or doesn't it only mean wavepad is using a much nicer re-coding algorithm?

 

Anyone knows? Thanks a ton!
