mp3 question
Im using CDex for my mp3 files (popular freeware program). It has the option to re-encode mp3 files (basically turn files of a certain bit rate into higher bit rates) not sure if other programs do this as well.
My question is, does it actually increase sound quality a lot or not to re-encode for example a 128kbps file into a 192kbps file? what I don't get is that if they ripped the file from the cd at 128kbps it has already lost tons of data. So re-encoding it at a decent bitrate like 192kbps would not do a whole lot. It would not be the same sound quality as a file originally ripped from a cd at 192kbps since you can't turn a 128kbps into a 192kbps, where would it get all that data?
I hope im making sense [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
