healium Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Ok sorry to keep asking about downloads but I still don't quite understand it.. I purchased an MP3 file from trackitdown.net at 192kbs - when I download it, the window shows a "transfer rate" which continuously changes, but was usually between 90-100 kilobytes/second. Is my MP3 file still at 192? Does the "transfer rate" effect the MP3 file? Also, when I go to record the MP3's from my computer to a CD, I use the built in Record Now software on my computer. Does this software record the MP3 to CD at whatever I bought the MP3 for? I know that the Record Now program will only encode a CD-->MP3 at 128kbs - does this mean it only records an MP3 to CD at 128? This same program will make exact copies of CD-->CD discs though..

delars Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 no it has nothing to do with the quality of the track, transfer rate just tells you how fast you are downloading from the server Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reger Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 n00b It's the speed you're getting the file from the server to your hdd at.. 640401[/snapback] yeah, apsolutely n00b! h, baba, there is nothing to worry about, as traveller and delars said, its only speed at which you are downloading from server, file quality will not be affected, never will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 haha if transfer rates affected the quality of mp3s I would get them higher than CD quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
