mp3 distortion

Hello friends,

I made a new track, mastered it and converted it to mp3 (192 Kbps stereo, 44.1 Khz, cool edit). When I play it with Windows Media Player and other audioplayers it works fine - BUT:

When I play the mp3 with Winamp it distorts!!! The .wav doesn't tho.

I already tried higher quality (up to 320 Kbps) but that didn't help. I normalized the original .wav file to -o.4 dB to avoid clipping. Why does it distort?

Do you know a solution? It would be great if someone could help me!

Thanx,
martyn

Ok, no answers necessary anymore, I solved the prob. It simply was the winamp equalizer that caused the distortion

Very funny! So tell me which Limiter-values you prefer to avoid clipping when an additional eq is added.

or make sure your winamp eq is turned off and your audio settings are correct as winamp can sometimes increase your windows audio to max by setting winamp to max.
