Hi,

I am looking for a ogg/mp3 editing softwarei (gui), which is able to
cut/append such streams without loss due to reencoding.

What software is worth trying ?

Thank  you very much for your help in advance!

Kind regards,
mcc

This is what I found in audacity homepage:

"Audacity is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds. It is available for Mac OS X, Microsoft
Windows, GNU/Linux, and other operating systems."

So I think he is able to edit sounds, you just open your file, then apply some audio filter on it, cut a part of it
tweak volume etc...

But perhaps I have not well understood your question (my english is not so good ), and maybe I put you in a wrong way.

Hi Fred,

no problem...I am also no native english speaker...so, well,
may be it is my english not yours what screws up things a little... :)

MP3/OGG are audio codecs, which are lossy. Means: If you encode a
wav-file to mp3, than decode this one again back to wav there is
some sound loss.

Audacity is -- as far as I understood -- only able to edit wav files.
Therefore it has to decode the mp3 to wav before editing.
If one wants a mp3 again from this wav file, the above has to be
aplied and you will loose sound quality.

There are ways to edit/cut/append mp3 files directly whitout
deocding them (dont ask me for details here) therefore these
editors, which are specialized in mp3/ogg editing, are able
to edit/cut/apped mp3 files as often as you wish without loosing
sound quality.

Audacity is one to edit wav files directly but not mp3/ogg files --
as far as I know....

HTH

Keep hacking! :)

There is media-sound/mp3splt-gtk [1], but it's for splitting only: "a
GTK+ based utility to split mp3 and ogg files without decoding." Never
managed to get it working, though.

I would suggest that you raise the question on a more specialised ML,
for example the Audacity ML. Perhaps they'd suggest an alternative, or
even be willing to implement this..

Hi,

I don't think there is an ebuild, but you can try Mpcut:
