MP3 is a lossy format, meaning that every time you compress data, its quality slightly degrades. If you take an original CD and save it into an MP3 file with high bitrate, you will probably not notice any loss of audio quality. If, however, you try to manipulate the MP3 file and save it over and over in the same MP3 format, then pretty soon you are about to notice that the quality of the audio becomes poor.

But what if you already have a pile of MP3 files that you need to handle? Do you always have to face the loss of quality?

Fortunately, there are tools that can perform certain tasks with MP3 files without degrading their quality. In fact, you can only perform a handful of things without losing MP3 quality: you can cut large files into smaller pieces, join small files into a large one, trim files or remove silence, and edit ID3 tag information.
