| 366181 | 2005-06-22 22:36:00 | Is it possible to improve the quality of an mp3 file by converting it to another format then converting it back at a higher bitrate? Assuming that this is possible is there a free/shareware batch converter available? | smithg1955 (8400) | ||
| 366182 | 2005-06-22 22:38:00 | So you're asking whether you can create information that has been lost during the original conversion to low bitrate mp3? Think about it... | user (1404) | ||

Usually when converting something to something else you always lose some detail and the more you do it the more you lose. You may be able to run it through a program design for removing noise and such but just converting to a higher bitrate will gain you nothing except a bigger file size. |

| 366184 | 2005-06-23 00:45:00 | in short.......NO. you can't create data you don't have. also recodeing tends to make the quailty worse exspecially when swapping from different formats (regaurdless of bitrate). each lossy codec losses data in a different way, if you reencode it enough you will end up with next to nothing. |
