Eehh..

you can't improve the quality of MP3's you have. Sure, you could increase the bitrate, but it wouldn't make it sound better because you just can't make up data that isn't there.

Only thing you could do is add effects to the track, try and make it sound a little richer in some way, but chances are it will sound shitter, theres really no way of improving an MP3.

You could always make sure that thers no pops clicks or any other extraneous sound.

add a little reverb, sometimes that gives it a cooler sound.

other than that, your screwed.

Well, they are right, you can't get something from nothing. BUT, there are things you can do, to make it seem better.

one thing is a harmonic exciter, which will take the frequencies MP3 cuts out, and try to add them back in, by reproducing them an octave lower or higher.
