Re: MP3>AIFF

I don't think you can edit MP3 data without decoding it.  There are plenty 
of
shareware/freeware/cheapware apps that edit sound and that can read MP3 
files
but you'll run into the same problem - they decode the MP3 file to wave 
data
when they load it into memory.

And by the way, if this is off topic, please forgive me!  8(
