Hello Alexandra:
I hear you, in truth, I seldom use Windows Media Player, I have it opening
only the .wav files, for some reason. What I normally use for .mp3 and most
others is MaPler, in which it is very easy to rewind.
All the best,
Humberto

Though this eMail specifically mentions Mac and IOS devices its not too

Right well that puts things into perspective and no, you probably don't have a
choice when you buy from Amazon, I don't buy from them so I can't comment.
320K MP3 is certainly not lossless.

Interesting. I buy some stuff from Amazon, and I'm not aware of any other
choice than 256-kbps MP3. So I have to use what I get when I buy from them.
Unless I am mistaken, 320-kbps mp3 is also lossless, not so? Most of my

Okay, I've read your last two messages and - whilst 256K MP3 files sound
reasonable - you are encoding them in the most inefficient way when it comes to
file size, you will get even better quality and even more file size savings if

I have to admit that file size isn't an issue for me these days so I don't even
use any compressed files.
If you're happy with what you're doing then keep going.

Yup, this is true. I've converted thousands of 256- and 320-kbps mp3 files
to variable bit 128-kbps m4a and they sound great. And they're considerably
smaller, which was my original reason for converting them.

Well, the answer to your question is that I cannot detect any difference in
audio quality, and m4a files take up close to half the space of an
equivalent sounding mp3 file. This is important for storage conservation on

There's no doubt that M4A/AAC does sound better than MP3 if converting from a
lossless format first.
If the subject line is a true reflection of the discussion then the conversion

will sound a little worse than the o
Hi,
I disagree. M4A sounds better than MP3 at the equivalent bit rate. So a
128KB M4A sounds more like a 192 MP3. MP3 is the worst kind of compression
out there.
All the best

Dumb question I'm sure but why do you want to convert from MP3 to M4A or AAC?
Mp3 should play just as well and you're certainly not gaining anything in audio
quality doing this as you're converting from 1 lossee format to another thus
losing quality in the conversion anyway.

Yes, you just hold down one button and record away. As much as you like.
Then when you go back later and hold the pen over the glue on sticker it

I have seen this too where it gets stuck at a certain part of the download.
I waited later in the day and it installed completely. Also when it gets
stuck check by alt+tabbing to see if the user account control didn't block
or your firewall didn't block it.
