Hi Aaron,
Looking around a bit more on the web, I do think we need to
distinguish different kinds of editing. It appears that certain
kinds of edits can be made to MP3s without needing to recode, namely
splitting up an MP3 into pieces and applying gain. (See http://sherber.com/url/3c

I'm not familiar with the internals of the mp3 format, so I can't say for
sure. But considering that none of the edits mentioned operate in the
frequency domain (such as filters and most other types of audio processing),
I can see how it might be possible without conversion/reconversion. But
iTunes allows you to convert among a few formats, but that's it AFAIK.
