Hello Liviu,

Once you encoded the wave into MP3, the originality is lost forever. The first
wave you'll get will have exactly the same quality of the MP3 of "CBR (-b256 -ms
-h)" and the second wave will have exactly the same quality of  "VBR (-V1 -b128
-mj -q1)". Think about it for some time, and it'll be clear to you why.
