Suppose I have a FLAC music file and I convert it to let’s say 192 kbps mp3 and then I use this 192 kbps file as a base and create another conversion to 160 kbps.
Not supose I take the source Flac file again and convert directly to 160 kbps.
Do both 160 kbps files have the same quality?
Say I need to store 160 kbps mp3’s on my phone. No more than 160 kbps. Then I learned it’s best to search for a lossless format and convert to 160 then to grab anything above 160 and bellow 320 kbps. So for example it’s best to avoid grabing a 256 kbps file and go straight to Flac to convert to 160. Got it?
