Thanks for that, though the answer is not good news for me given that I now will have to re-rip all the tracks I have at high quality mp3. I had hoped not to have to do this, even though I know that going from lossy, high-quality mp3 to lower quality mp3 will give poor results. The in-car mp3 player I have gives no choice because it only accepts mp3. Why do you think an encoder that preserves the ID3 tags when downsampling mp3 (or even downsampling from ogg or wav to mp3, etc) gives a problem with encoder stability? I know little, but imagined that it would involve only preserving the start/part of the file where the ID3 is stored?
