Although you mention the ability to load MP3 files as a necessity, I
would advise you
to convert them to WAV, import them into Ardour as regions, and then
edit to your hearts
content.
Advantages: No damage to audio files it things get messy, Ardour has
lots of great features
Disadvantages: A little more work to convert files, and they take up a
little more space...
How to convert?: I would use Sox, or SoundConverter.
Sox is a command-line app that can convert anything to
everything.. :-) SoundConverter is a GTK+ sound converter, does the
basics of MP3, WAV, OGG, AIFF etc.
Hope that helps! -Harry
Ok, I'll reconsider Ardour. I thought it a bit of an overkill for such
simple things, but I'll try it out and see if it's manageable
