sorting out Music files

Dear Ioniser ;-)))))))))))) heck ....Just spotted it ......Ian .......Hurrayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ;-)))))

Have only just FOUND the help (ydBpowerAMP Music Converter) you very kindly gave IE ; Sorting out my Classics.Am still wading thru the instructions ;-)) Tho '
bit puzzled with " lossy " and Wav ?
but I'll get a grasp of it soon I hope .......Hope to I'll be able to Standardise once and for all.
A very genuine and appreciative Thank you Sir ;-)))

Hey, Derek!

Glad you tracked down my reply and found the freeware. Regarding the
difference between the "lossy" nature of mp3 files vs. wav files: Wav
files contain all of the audio fidelity of the original CD music tracks
you ripped them from. Wav files are essentially exact duplicates of the
original tracks, with all of the fidelity, etc., and as a result these
files are quite large when compared with an mp3 version of the same track.
When you compress (convert) a wav file to mp3, some data is removed in
order to make the file smaller- the extreme high and low frequencies which
are theoretically beyond human hearing at first; but when you compress to
lower-bitrate files, even more data is removed- and at some point you CAN
hear the difference. So it's a "lossy" format because data is eliminated
during the compression process.

Let your own hearing be your guide. I defy anyone to tell the difference
between a wav file and a 320kbps mp3 file of the same piece of music for
instance. At 192kbps, some people might claim to be able to spot some
subtle differences. Once you compress below 128kbps many listeners *will*
spot an audible difference.

So be careful with that classical music of yours. If you convert a wav
file to mp3, delete the original wav file, and THEN decide that the mp3
doesn't sound good enough, it's too late- that fidelity is lost forever.
Converting a crappy-sounding 96kbps mp3 file into a 320kbps file will only
result in a larger file which still sounds crappy.

Regards,
Ian.

Paging Mr Ioniser, ..................Paging Mr Ioniser, ;-))))))))))))

yes , tiz I again, the elderly mature chap from the UK, who doesn't know his
mpg from his wav's ;-)))
if I might to impose further, would appreciate your assistance.......or
anyone e but else's if they'd be so kind

You'll recollect a considerable amount of music was to be shifted from the
hard drive to CD in a WIN XP environment.
Uppermost in my mind is your recommendation to acquire Wave files at the
highest bit rate possible.
Using DBPoweramp to make settings I >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..
Question: eight bit, 16-bit [CD] or bits at source
?.................. my guess.... would be 16 ???
Question : and presumably I would select 44100Hz (CD)

Trouble is , with DB poweramp.......... I can only come that one piece of
music at a time, is that correct, since I have quite a number of pieces to
convert.

I am further , bewildered, by the format of Apple ITunes, I got older on a
piece of software name of a Fair Keys, but I am damned if I can open the nine
files , which as the name implies , will open up the Apple format ..........
so that I can put them on the CD.

I have no doubt at all that I have explained all this very badly , in which
case I apologize in advance. If there are any other facts that are required
or explanations . my address is, Kered 44@Hotmail.com,

Thank you gentlemen
PS am hoping to Use Nero to Write these Files
