Hi,
I understand that when you have a audio CD, then turn it to MP3, you lose some quality. What happens when you take MP3 and convert them to Audio CD's? Do you again lose quality. Going further, what if you take audio CD's that you created from MP3's, and turn them back to MP3's?
Here is my problem. I have some songs that are in MP3. I converted them to Audio CD. My harddisk crashed and I lost all of my MP3. I want to take my audio CD's (that were created from MP3's) and turn them back to MP3. How much quality will I lose.
Thanks

It depends what software you use. i use cd-ex to copy songs from cd to mp3, and nero to convert mp3 to audio when i burn a cd. You shouldnt really lose quality, it depends on what encoding quality u use. CD is about 192kpbs
You wont lose any noticable quality

Mp3 (192kpbs) --to---> CD (wheter it be mp3 data backup or audio) 192kpbs --to--->HD in mp3.. 192kps
notice the no quality loss
This is how it works.. mp3s are released @ 192kbps cant make em better can make em worse Thats just the standards.. youll lose some hardly noticable quality (in comparison with audio cd)..
you can ofcourse rip yr audio cds @ 256kps thats like superb quality
but i allready answered yr question.. no quality loss

thats cause you have gay mp3s
either non 192kbps mp3s
or the mp3s arent ripped properly..ripping an mp3 with the best quality.. raw like it is on the cd.. isnt easy..
or yr cd is a fag
or yr drive is " "

you guys gotta get your facts straight about enc/dec.. when you rip from ANY source, you do NOT lose quality. Its all digital. What happens is the encoder actually strips the WAV down to its "audible" wavelengths. A wav is not any KBPS, its not compressed.
So i guess its safe to say you do not lose quality when you encode and then decode, only the wavelengths of sound that you ear cannot hear are actually 'deleted.' Otherwise it is all digital and there is really no place for any quality to be lost.
