convert 128's to 192 or higher

dj skraps 10:51 PM - 16 January, 2007
what would i use to convert all my 128's to higher bitrate?

do not do it... You have already LOST the audio data. Go back to the originals, or find a better copy. Your current plan will only make them sound worse.

Thanks Kagen....anyone else out there agree with this??

Kagen is 100% correct. Re-encoding a 128 kb/s file to 192 will offer no better sound quality whatsoever, only a bigger file and more degraded sound quality.

That would be the same as thinking you can record a dvd to VHS tape and then when you want the higher quality video, just record back to DVD. The quality is already gone the moment it wound up on VHS,.. as it is the moment it was encoded to 128 kb/s.

...I believe someone on this board put it best by saying "you can't polish a turd".

Very true... you can't go backwards. Go back to the originals.

aight...sounds cool.

im going to disagree just to disagree. fuck that! encode them at 192. if someone says thay sound like shit, fuckem!, tell them to take the shit out of their ears and show them that they're 192. if they're still yapin, kick em in the nuts.

Allenbina?? why are you on the board. Thats the stupidist shit to say. People are here to help others & inturn help you....one hand washes the other. Not to talk shit.
marx 4:58 AM - 17 January, 2007
I will also have to say not to bother, your going to degrade & increase the file size.

why people are still commenting on this is discouraging. after 5 people saying the same thing, did we really need to keep this thread productive? honestly, skraps got the info he wanted, everyone agreed, everyone wins. seriously marx, that 6th voice was the one that did it for me, until then, i was weary.... thanks bro!
