rabifaf Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Hello everyone. I have been using an audio converter to change my music files from FLAC to MP3 format, but every time I complete the conversion, the output sounds noticeably worse than the original. I selected a 320kbps bitrate, which I assumed would maintain decent quality, but the audio still comes out muffled and flat. Is this a limitation of the MP3 format itself, or am I missing a specific setting in the converter? Does the software I choose actually make a difference in the final output quality? Which audio converter do you recommend for lossless or near lossless results? Quote

Here's a link; worth trying..? Audacity ... Edited June 29 by Dad3353 Quote
