Computer newbies: WAV to MP3 format
WAV to MP3 format
by gbalakrishnan - 7/15/05 4:00 AMI am ripping my CDs to mp3 format and copying the mp3 songs to the CDS to get more mileage. Is the quality the same or worse in the mp3 format compare to wav?
I've found that they are identical

Just make sure that you take one of the finished cd's to your audio player and test it to make sure that it will work in your player. Sometimes the cd's won't play just because of the type of player you have, and newer ones actually can detect burned copies, assume they have been pirated, and won't play them. Sometimes it has a problem playing the cd only because of the type of media (brand name and color of disk) so you may have to test various brands to find the one that will work.

he's right

by - 7/17/05 5:41 PM In reply to: he's right by cravinbobMP3 is what we call a "lossy" audio format. That means that the MP3 is not a perfect copy of the WAV or CD.
Rest assured that if you encode to MP3 and then decode back to WAV or CD again, your end result is technically NOT identical to what you had in the beginning.
Mind you, you might not be able to tell the difference. But it is there.
Also, don't normalize when you rip. It's better to normalize the MP3's with MP3Gain, than to normalize WAV's. It's reversible, and more effective.
Lame MP3 Encoder
by Willy Wonker - 7/17/05 7:30 PM In reply to: Wrong byI have Lame MP3 encoder with Wave Editor and it make perfect WAV tp MP3. Bitrate on 320kBits and highest quality setting make perfect. Compare them in mathmatic spectrogram and wave both are very identical side by side. Even if you are wearing headphone you couldn't tell the differnet at all.
Re: Perfect
by - 7/18/05 3:33 AM In reply to: Lame MP3 Encoder by Willy WonkerI won't dispute that MP3 can have very good quality at high bitrates like 320kbps, but my point is that MP3 is lossy, and thus it never perfectly copies the original WAV.
maybe I am wrong but...
by cravinbob - 7/17/05 11:26 PM In reply to: Wrong bythe programs I have tried do not allow "normalizing" MP3 files. Clarify which programs you use and what you like etc.
I am in the process of archiving 40 years of my music (lps, cassette) collection and any hints or help is good!

WAV to MP3 format
by jcrobso - 7/15/05 1:04 PM In reply to: WAV to MP3 format by gbalakrishnanThe quality of MP3 depends of the data rate you choose when you rip. Higher the the data rate the better the quality=bigger file.
A 256kb data rate MP3 is very close to CD in quality. While a 64bk date MP3 is not so close to CD quality.
Your choice. John
WAV TO MP-3
by jadegarden - 9/5/05 5:00 AM In reply to: WAV to MP3 format by jcrobsoWAV FILE IS UNCOMPRESED AND MP-3 IS OBVIOUSLY COMPRESSED SO THERE IS SOME LOSS(BUT AURALLY , CHECK IT)
SO FROM WAV TO MP-3 THERE IS A LOSS, BUT BY COMPRESSION FILE IS SMALLER AT WHATEVER BIT RATE POSIBLE,
HIGHER THE BIT RATE BETTER IT IS.
IT IS YR PICK, GOPALAKRISHNA
