QUOTE(FiSHjIGN @ Dec 31 2006, 12:52 PM) That's a bad thing to do. Converting an mp3 to an mp3 will degrade the music quality quite a lot. If u dont mind the quality downgrade, then go ahead. If not i recommend converting the source directly to CBR. e.g. rip the CD right into CBR. depends...explanation: when u compress an audio file into an mp3, the software takes away bits of the song file, thus it's called lossy compression. When you convert an mp3 to an mp3, more chunks of the audio file are taken away, as a result the sound quality is further degraded lets say u hav a VBR 160kbps.....means average bitrate is 160kbps and assumes that its max bitrate is 200kbps if one convert to 256kbps....i don see any losing point...... but more useless bit used then....hahaha... clarity always lost when u convert further lower the bitrate..... |
