Did you convert it to MP3Pro?
If so won't the same program convert it back?

Hello.
I didn't convert them to Mp3 pro...they were already like that when I got them....I use Musicmatch 8.2 to play them.....Musicmatch says the bit rate is like 96 maybe 112.....and most of the ones I have are 128 bit rate or more....I was just wondering if someone knew of a way to convert them back to the org.& what tool or program I would need.....Any help from any one would be Appreciated..


**thanks again,

If you want to "convert" them back to CDA just burn them to audio format.

The thing you need to understand is that no matter what format they are in now, there is no way to increase the bit rate.
If you have a player that will play them, which MMJB will, then there is no real point in trying to convert them to something else.

It would be a bit difficult to convert it back if you didn't know what it was first of all. Like longhair says though, you can't add to a low bitrate, you can only take away what's already there. You wouldn't notice the difference anyway. Mp3 pro @ 96 bitrate is a bit better than a standard Mp3 @ 96.

Like Rockn says burn them back to CDA then you can rip them to whatever formay you choose.

You still can't increase the quality of the sound. If you burn the songs to a CD (CDA format) you do not end up with the same thing as it would have been originally. So, yes you can convert to CDA and then Rip into MP3 at a higher bitrate...........but you will NOT gain anything. At best you will have an "artificial" felling that you have, because the file will say that it is the higher bitrate, but it will not sound any better.

Actually, MP3 files and piles of sand have similar characteristics. Every time you move it (convert in the case of MP3), a little bit of sand gets left behind. Any conversion to/from MP3 in any flavor loses a bit of the quality in the process.

I've done this experiment with JPG files, but it's equally valid for any lossy compression scheme. Compress/decompress an MP3 to WAV and back about 50 times and see what you end up with, it's not pretty!
