Hello I have searched the forum using the topic title without any result coming up yet I am sure that it is a pretty common task and question. I am using Audacity to convert my music collection from 192kbps to 320kbs (it will take me for ever) where you open the MP3 file and then using the Export…

Before you invest any more effort in [image] moncom: convert(ing) my music collection from 192kbps to 320kbs It does not make any sense to re-encode a lossy format to an equally lossy format with a higher bitrate. The existing information from the original files cannot become any better only…
