I've downloaded some free MP3s from various sources of classical music online. Unfortunately, they have these annoying verbal introductions at the beginning and they're not split up into movements, as I prefer.

In the past, I've decompressed the MP3s into WAVs using CDeX, edited out the parts I don't want in Goldwave, and then re-compressed the edited WAV files back into MP3s.

I'm concerned about this approach, however: Because I didn't enccode the MP3s in the first place, I have no idea how they were encoded. So when I reencode the edited WAVs, I'm afraid I'm degrading the quality of the file.

Is there anything I can do about this problem? I like my high-quality files...

Thanks in advance,
