Increase mp3 Bitrate

[Dell and Rodney]

Is anyone aware of a program that would allow me to increase the bitrate for an mp3 without loosing any quality?

cheers

no im not aware of any program like that.

just keep ur mp3 bitrate the way it is. no need to change it

I was told when using Nero to save tracks it gave you an option to select the bitrate......not too sure if that would help your case or not but thought to mention it

rephrase this;

you have an existing mp3 you want to convet or...?

[Tarun]

I use CdEx to turn it back into a wav, then turn it back into an mp3 at the bitrate I want.

Download.com has CdEx available there.

why bother?? i dont think the resulting mp3, would have better sound quality than the original!

[Drewdatrip]

Very true. I dont think you can gt better quality then the original track.

The only way i beivle this can be done is if you have the original wav format riped from a cd.

Then conerting it on your own and selecting the bit rate of your chose.

everytime u increase the bitrate of an mp3, u lose quality. no exceptions. the mp3 at the original bitrate is as good as it gets. no need to change it.

encode an mp3 at 32kbps then reencode the same mp3 to 320kbps. the resulting mp3 wont be any better.

You can increase the bit rate of an mp3 without losing the quality but it will not increase the quaility of the mp3 file so really there is no point.

...well not exactly. u will lose quality, but ur ears will most likely not notice it.
