Hi Peter,
I have never tried such software, but I expect it would work fine as
long as you do not want to make any edits once the file is on your PC.
The drawback is: if you re-save the mp3 file for whatever reason,
that will re-compress it and cause nasty sounding artifacts.
I recommend saving any important recording as a WAV file (at least
16/44.1). Archive the original, then use a copy to edit or compress
to mp3 as you see fit. Also archive the source minidisc.
