hi everybody,
dont you guys think that 128 kbps is the matter of past...we must get to higher bit rates if hard disk permits...online transfer shouldnt be the lame excuse too coz of the gradual increase in internet speed...it really sucks !!!

convert your 128kbps mp3s into 128 kbps AAC format.

converting it to any other format isnt gonna do u any good
ur audio is already compressed and using a lossless codec after all the valuable information isl ost isnt gonna bring it back

the compression is supposed to be done when u get the pure unadulterated file


besides u can use 160/192 kbps rate to encode ur mp3's if u stick with mp3's in the future !!

not like u'll make out a difference unless ur a serious audiophile and have equipment that can actually highlight the difference
