Recorded mp3 sound quality?

[Guest PSYSTEPH]

What is the best way to get good sound quality when recording music from mp3's like audiogalaxy?

[Guest Max]

i dont understand... what are you trying to do exactly? .. get the best quality mp3 or record from mp3 to some other format?

[Guest balalien]

Use Mp3 gain proggie, dunno the URL but search for it on google.com, write mp3gain normalizer, or any other normalizer. I use it and I normalize the files up to 98%.

I am trying to record mp3 files onto another format( cd, md) but am unsure as to how and with what format to acheive the best quality recordings

[Guest akindo]

Use this program and record to CD at max 12X, you will get the best quality possible: http://www.cdex.n3.net/

cheers akindo, is sound quality @!#$ if recorded to md?

depends a lot on the bit rate of the original mp3. If it's over 192kbps then you should be fine for listening on lower quality headphones etc.

Once its encoded to MP3 the quality is what you hear when you play back the mp3 ( it dosent get better if its converted back to wave format or audio cd)

This is because MP3 format is a lossy format (like .jpg picture files)
