The most widely used software for editing music files is MP3 Cutter.

MP3Cutter is a simple utility that enables you to cut out pieces of a MP3 without having to decode that MP3 to a non-encoded PCM (wave)-file.
MP3Cutter cuts the MP3 at the frame level so it doesn't degrade the quality of your MP3.

This way of editing has one major downside:
special effects like: normalizing, fading and adding things like a flanger or an echo are not possible.

If you want these kind of "effects" you'll need to decode the MP3 stream into an un-encoded
PCM format which can then be processed with a program like CoolEdit.

At the moment MP3Cutter 4 is only capable of doing the actual cutting of MP3's.
How to edit/cut: One can import a MP3, which will be scanned and put in the "Project bin". From there it's possible to transfer the MP3 to the "Cutter". Once it is in the cutter, you can select a start- and an ending-frame, put that selection onto the "Cue list" or save it straight to disk.
