If I were to chop off the ending of a song (say in MP3 format) would it affect the quality of the track? Should I be saving it in a lossless container like FLAC? What programs would be good for this?
What about if I were to chop off the ending of a track (in lossy format) then add a fade effect to the new ending? Would it affect the quality at all? Is theres anything I can do to prevent this quality loss?
This is because I heard if you edit an MP3 then save again as an MP3, theres a loss in quality from re-doing a lossy codec.
Any help is appreciated.
