How to re encode mp3's?
DJ Unique 4:43 AM - 27 July, 2006
You don't re-encode MP3's.
By doing so you will recompress an already compressed file.
Thus will make your re-encoded MP3 sound worse than the original mp3.

Best thing would be to use original CDs and re-encode MP3's to your liking.

By the way...
This has been discussed already.
Do a search on this subject for more detailed info.

You can re-encode mp3s in a program such as iTunes.
We suggest re-encoding corrupt mp3s that you may have downloaded and don't have the original cd for.

For directions on converting (encoding) check docs.info.apple.com
