In summary, the conversation discussed issues with burning audio CDs using Windows Media Player, such as the process stopping after a song and the possibility of corrupt files. It also mentioned the desire to edit and convert .mp3 files and asked for recommendations for programs that can do so. Ultimately, it was concluded that re-encoding files at a higher bit rate does not improve quality.

I'm burning an audio CD using Windows Media Player. The process stopped right after finishing a song. I assume that the proceeding song is corrupt. After going through the process of converting it why can't it detect the corruption earlier? That was a waste of a CD! The file plays fine in Winamp or Windows Media Player.

Cause: ?

Solution: ?

In that case does anyone know of a program that can edit .mp3 files? I want to break up an audio file because it plays continuously. If so, what's the name of it?

Will anyone provide the name of a program that converts .mp3 files from 128 KBPS to 192 KBPS ?

Thanks

There's no point to it. Re-encoding rich data to a lower bit rate is a lossy transform. When you try to reencode at a higher bit rate, you just get rubbish data thrown into fill in the blanks.

Interesting, and what about when you convert from 256 to 128?

256 -> 192 or 128 = smaller file size, lower quality

128 -> 192 or 256 = larger file size, no gain in quality.
