Re: converting mp3 from one bitrate to another

2006-03-22 Thread Kevin Lloyd
Hi Scott.

I use Goldwave for doing just the same task.  I have my collection ripped in
lossless  WMA format but create copies from those masters in MP3 format at
lower bit rates for using with portable players.  Goldwave is shareware but
can be used for free for some considerable time until you're ready to buy.
It has a batch converter that will allow you to choose the lower bit rate
and save to a separate folder.  You can also adjust the volume of your files
so they're all pretty much the same volume at the same time.

As mentioned, using a lower bit rate will lose some of the top and bottom
end of the audio spectrum and will make the overall sound just a little more
closed in but this is subjective based on what kind of player you'll be
using to listen to the end result.  192kbps gives good results  particularly
with portable players and computers.  If listening through a good hi-fi you
might not want to go below that 320kbps or even go one step further and use
a lossless format.

Someone mentioned raising the bit rates on files during this thread.  This
would be a complete waste of time and space  as once you've thrown away the
music that makes up the higher bit rates, you can't get it back.  Think of
it in terms of a pint glass full of beer and an empty half pint glass.  You
can pour the pint into the half pint glass until it's full and then throw
away the other half.  Now if you pour that half pint back into the pint
glass, the pint glass is as big as it was originally but you only got half
the beer!

Changing formats between MP3 and WMA or any other format is not advisable.
Music on computers is nothing more than math.  The computer has no
comprehension of what it's encoding and how good it's sounding,
it applies the same algorithm each time when encoding and decoding.
However, each format will have it's own specific algorithm and these will
decide which parts of music are kept or thrown away when encoding.
Therefore, a WMA encoder may throw away part of the music that an MP3
encoder may keep and vice versa.  The only exception to this is when
converting from lossless  WMA to MP3 as there was none of the audio spectrum
thrown away when encoding to lossless WMA and so nothing to lose if
converting to any other format to create a copy.

Regards.

Kevin

Subject: converting mp3 from one bitrate to another


 Hi folks,

 Forgive my ignorance about these things, but I am still new to the audio
 side of things. I've begun ripping my cd's to 320kbps mp3. Now, I want to
be
 able to make smaller mp3's from these files, say 192kbps mp3's. I have
 winamp pro, Windows Media Player, and real player 10 on my system. Will
any
 of these programs allow for the conversion? If not, is there a free
program
 for changing bitrate? And again, if there isn't a free alternative, what
is
 the best and of course, most accessible program.

 Thanks,
 Scott

Just be aware that if you convert an MP3 from one bit rate to antoher, 
you'll have less audio quality that if you'd just saved the file in the 
smaller bitrate int he first place, because that conversion will involve 
uncompressing and recompressing the MP3.

Sir Bruce. They like that anyway... I just give them the software and the
result would be what they have decided to have. I don't know much about that
quality or something, but, I learned that while the file is getting smaller,
the quality is also getting lower. In fact, I have here a WMA file that is
only 500+KB in size. You can even put it on a diskette! I'm not that sure
about the quality as I said. But, I know that the sound is something
different compared to its MP3 format.

Hi folks,

Forgive my ignorance about these things, but I am still new to the audio

to be

able to make smaller mp3's from these files, say 192kbps mp3's. I have
winamp pro, Windows Media Player, and real player 10 on my system. Will
any of these programs allow for the conversion? If not, is there a free

Links? I'm not sure because my two unpopular/untraditional programs here
came from my friends. I have an idea about where can you get them but, I
will still make sure about that. One named switch. It's a small file and
its main feature is to convert WMA to mp3/wav or otherwise. But, if the
file is already in mp3 format, you can just rip it again and set that
bitrate thing to your chois. The other one is the CDX. I'm not sure if
you have an idea on this. But, unfortunately, the files should come from
the CD.

Subject: converting mp3 from
one bitrate to another

Hi folks,

Forgive my ignorance about
these things, but I am still
new to the audio 
side of things. I've begun
ripping my cd's to 320kbps
mp3. Now, I want to be 
able to make smaller mp3's
from these files, say 192kbps
mp3's. I have 
winamp pro, Windows Media
Player, and real player 10 on
my system. Will any 
of these programs allow for
the conversion? If not, is
there a free program 
for changing bitrate? And
again, if there isn't a free
alternative, what is 
the best and of course, most
accessible program.

Thanks,
Scott

This might be an expensive solution, but Soundforge has something called 
Batch Converter.  I think even Goldwave has something like that with the 
program!
