mpgedit is an MPEG 1 layer 1/2/3 (mp3), MPEG 2, and MPEG 2.5 audio file editor that is capable of processing both Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and Variable Bit Rate (VBR) encoded files.

Since no file decoding / encoding occurs during editing, there is no audio quality loss when editing with mpgedit.

When editing VBR files that have a XING header, mpgedit updates the output file's XING header information to reflect the new file size and average bit rate.

mpgedit operates in two modes: a command line and a curses-based, full-screen interactive shell. All editing functionality is available in both modes. The chief advantage of the interactive mode comes when using the playback feature for selection and verification of edit begin and end times, which is more rapidly performed interactively.

xmpgedit provides most of the same editing capabilities as the curses-mode mpgedit, but adds a graphical representation of the volume levels of mp3 file being being edited.

What's New in This Release:
This release fixes an occasional crash in xmpgedit when adjusting the volume after playback has stopped.
mpgedit playto start time is fixed, which would play beyond the specified edit time in some circumstances.
The command "Copy start time" has been added to the xmpgedit edit menu.
mpgedit playback and editing with the -I option is fixed, which would frequently repeat up to a second of material at the start of the edit.
