converting WAV file to MP3

Yes and no. :-) e.g. Some years ago I got some 'AVRO' issued 256k mp3 files made using a decent pro encoder. These were for one of the celebration events for the Concergebauw or Haitink IIRC. In general, they sound quite good, albeit that I have no source LPCM to compare with. However in some quiet passages the result became quite 'ragged'. I finally realised that the encoder judgement rule settings was treating a lot of the low level detail as 'noise floor' simply because it wasn't fully taking into account the overall low sound level. So not all mp3 files are equal, even when at the same mp3 rate. I use them happily for playback when not listening critically. For critical work, then 24 bit uncompressed or losslessly compressed files are what is needed, and as I tend to be editing as well, that rules out native use of FLAC and similar codecs As per earlier: Given the current cheapness and ubiquity of storage I long ago decided there was no point in mp3. You can store quite a lot of flac onto something like a = 4TB NAS, or even onto a couple of = 256 GB SD card. So to me nowdays, mp3 seems about as useful than making new 78 rpm discs of shellac when you can choose alternatives.

Strange: only difference between the two is caps or lower case 'wav'! |
