Could you build this?
No Direct MP3 stream editing without re-encoding (like mp3DirectCut) requires bit-level manipulation of MPEG audio frame headers, ID3 tags, and acoustic bitstreams at the binary level.
What it would actually take: A native Windows application written in C++ or C# with C bindings that parses raw MPEG audio bitstreams (layer III frame headers, bit reservoirs, Huffman tables, and VBR Xing/LAME headers) to perform lossless cuts and gain adjustments without decompression. Building this demands specialized digital signal processing (DSP) expertise and deep familiarity with MPEG-1/2 Audio Layer III specs and low-level Windows audio APIs.
