| if i re-encode a 128 kbps mp3 to 192 kbps will this actually improve the quality of the mp3? it makes sense that you can convert from 192 to 128 and lose quality...but not the other way around. |

Hi,
i think it doesn't improve the quality. If you convert a file from 192 to 128, as u said, you lose quality, and also kbyte per second. I can't imagine you get that sound information back when you re-convert, from where should the encoder get them?

| i agree with davEJAY, and ive often thought this question, i only think that is correct tho. |

| of course it wont improve quality, it will stay the same, just take more space, so it's nothing i would recommend :) |

to keep the quality, you have to encode from the original wav file...if you don't you're basically just encoding @ 128 with a higher file size
no reason to up the bitrate |

Of course it doesn't increase the quality!
If that was the case why doesn't everyone just put 5 kps MP3's up for download and then change the bitrate up to 192 kps once you've downloaded it? If you could do that then everybody would be fine on 56k, but unfortunately it doesn't work like that! |

Actually you would DECREASE quility in this conversion:
first 128k to wav...same quality
then from wav to 192k--->quality loss |

| CD quality is something like 44100k and full size wavs are this when you rip them. Mp3s are 320k at most, this is where the smaller size lets you get so many of them. As people have said, youll just get a larger copy of the 128kbps with the same, or in some cases, worse sound quality...late/ |

Uhhh your mixing up all kinds of
cd quality isn't encoded like mp3's, the 44100k you're referring to should read 44100Herz, hence 44khz. Now an mp3 file encoded at 128kbps CAN be at 44khz, but also at 22khz, a file encoded at 320kbps can also be at 44khz or 22 khz. The herz thingy refers to how many samples there are per second (or some time measure), like if you record something at 44khz, you can play it at 22khz and then it plays at half the speed (and has nothing to do with kbps) |
