I belong to several different industry digital distribution networks. MPE being one of the bigger ones. I download their stuff into a wav file, then convert it to MP3. The only reason I do that is I have no way to control the volume level of a wav file.
By default the IMTOO conversion program converts to a 192kbs MP3. Is there any advantage to increasing it to 320k? Or even decreasing to 128k? Is the original wav file actually better quality than an MP3? I read that you can reduce the bitrate of a file, but you can not increase the bitrate. Is that true? Again, I am just dealing with volume levels, and trying to get some consistency in the content quality of newer songs, along with the hundreds of older songs that have been restored from vinyl. The fidelity sounds better in the old stuff than the new stuff. The new stuff is so over compressed! And there is nothing I can do about that.

Now my question is...... I remember reading about it some time ago ........... How can i keep Decks A & B playing and switching off to eachother while i connect my DJ equipment to the laptop in a way to play OUT to the net through SAM? Breakdown: On my soundcard is a LINE INPUT. I can plug my dj equipment into this port on the soundcard and do live shows (but with SAM playing?) i guess the real question is: Is there a setting for SAM that i need to CLICK while its already broadcasting that will have all LINE IN signals playing through AUX 1? now keep in mind i do not want SAM to stop playing decks A & B while i am going LINE IN.
