ok now that i fixed my NERO thanks to some peoples help....

i have a question that may or may not sound stupid to you...


When you convert a MP3 to WAV...does it maintain the same quality as the original MP3??..or do you have to mess with soemthing??

for example..i converted a MP3 that is at 192k to a 16 Bit PCM WAV...will that be the same quality as the 192 MP3???????

basically is there a difference between an MP3 and a WAV when it comes to quality of sound....??

thanks

If your doing it through WINAMP, Adjust the equalizer a little bit. It should have no effect at all. But if your gonna put it back onto your computer, I would recomend putting at back at 192. :)

yeah pretty much. a wav is just a representation of the exact audio rip from the cd. an mp3 is just the 'trimmed' version of this - it takes away all the thats unnecessary(ie you cant hear). assuming you arent interrupting the encoding or something - it will sound the same. WAV-MP3= lost sound quality MP3-WAV=whatever sound quality of the mp3...late/

As far as I remember converting wav to mp3 is equal to eliminate all unlistenable sounds, so that the size of mp3 file is much less than wav. IMO mp3=>wav decoding shouldn't worse quality, but not same as wav=>mp3.
