Mp3 Edits

I record rather long radio casts: Jazz [5 hrs] [Peak LE in 2 Aiff files]
The Aiff's are easy to split into regions and run thru JAM.
However, once converted into MP3, the indexing is all "gone"
Is there a good way to split out and trim individual songs once converted to MP3 or is this all best done at the Aiff level?
thanks

Peakle Vs. Toast & Jam

Application: Long Jazz Programs <5hrs>, audio recorded on Stereo VCR.
[H Johnson on WABE Atlanta]
Goal:
Transfer the Audio to my Mac, and then be able to edit out specific songs, and some of H Johnson's commentary inbetween songs. Ultimately to include specific tracks in iTunes or transfer back to CD. I need to be able to apply Fades to the Digitized Tracks: not simply trunkate them.
I have a trial Peak LE [received with my iMic] which appears to have the capability of the fade edit. Roxio just advised that Toast & Jam is required.

What do you think?

PS: I'm not a Pro and about 200 is all I want to spend on this... the Peak regular version at $4XX is out of the question. Peak LE is only 16 bits...but what the heck it's a transcribed radio broadcast!
