    i use a nero program at home, but i have friends who use this.

    i guess it all depends on what you actually want to do editing wise.

    Audacity mp3 editing requires you to import the mp3 which uncompresses it, and then re-encode it after you have made the edits which means you lose quality because you have compressed the sound file twice.

    So while audacity is indeed awesome for sound editing, if you just want to do simple edits to your mp3s you may want to try something like http://www.mpesch3.de/

    Here is the article right from audacity's wiki:
    http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=MP3

    Edit:
    This assumes you are doing fairly simple things to your mp3 and you also want the end result back in mp3 format.
    If you are, say, importing an mp3, adding a whole bunch of effects and then burning it to a CD, audacity all the way.
