You can't edit MP3s...not the way you want to. One edits waves. One
rips waves, edits them then encodes them to MP3.

If one has foolishly encoded to MP3 when ripping, all editing programs
must first decode them to wave, let you do your edits then save them.
If saved as MP3s, they are encoded for a second time...more time, more
work, lower quality.

Audacity is a decent wave editor.
