Just remember when editing a 320MP3 and then export it as a new 320. It's true quality will be closer to 192/256. Just an FYI. Because when you export it runs the already compressed file through compression again. Always work with the highest quality source first.
You can do simple mp3 editing using mp3DirectCut with no loss in quality. I use it's bulk editor function to remove dead space from the beginning and ends of mp3 files.
Depending on how simple your edits are, I learned recently that you can trim a file in Quicktime, very, very easily. Audacity is a good option for most other "simple" work. And I use Ableton for bigger projects.
