    I use a program called CoolEdit to do this. I think there's a trial available.

    Yeah, Audacity is great, just have to tell it where your local Lame MP3 encoder is (lame_enc.dll).
    Search for it in Windows beforehand.

    Nero (if you have it) has an editor built in too thats simple to use. Nero Wave Editor I think it is.

    I use it to shave starts and endings off tracks when making a cd for the car and I run over a touch.

    All of those methods involve the mp3 being decoded to WAV, the cut happening then, and then the trimmed part is re-encoded back to MP3. This loses a lot of quality, depending on the bit rate.

    You can use mp3DirectCut to cut your mp3 (non-destructive) without having to re-encode.
