Hi Fred, no problem...I am also no native english speaker...so, well, may be it is my english not yours what screws up things a little... :)
MP3/OGG are audio codecs, which are lossy. Means: If you encode a wav-file to mp3, than decode this one again back to wav there is some sound loss. Audacity is -- as far as I understood -- only able to edit wav files. Therefore it has to decode the mp3 to wav before editing. If one wants a mp3 again from this wav file, the above has to be aplied and you will loose sound quality. There are ways to edit/cut/append mp3 files directly whitout deocding them (dont ask me for details here) therefore these editors, which are specialized in mp3/ogg editing, are able to edit/cut/apped mp3 files as often as you wish without loosing sound quality. Audacity is one to edit wav files directly but not mp3/ogg files -- as far as I know....
