some times i use lame [...@lame --preset insane foo.mp3] to enhance existing mp3_files with 48Kbit >> 320Kbit. >>>>> Here's a good link that explains transcoding, which is what your question is about: http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Transcoding >>>>> Raffaele wrote: No. You can achieve sound improvemente only if you convert from wav to mp3 (128Kbps -> 160Kbps), mp3 to mp3 conversions can't improve sound quality as mp3 it's not lossless. >>>>> This is only partly correct. The real answer is you can convert from any lossless format to lossy to acheive the desired results. WAV is uncompressed lossless audio data, whereas FLAC, Wavpack, etc. are lossless compression file formats that also have the ability to store ID3 tag info which comes in very handy when encoding to mp3 or any other lossy source.
