Yeah, but it ends up making it sound more like shit. If you can't tell then A) You have some shit speakers or B) You have some shit ears.

Re: MP3 Bitrate Converter (Macintosh)
that switch program converts lossless audio (flac) to lossy (mp3) which is a downgrade and yes, that works. you said you have a 128 concert recording. using that program on a mp3 to raise the bitrate doesn't work. you can probably make the conversion, and it'll have a new tag, but it's still 128. unless i missunderstood you from the beginning on what you're trying to do.Comment

Re: MP3 Bitrate Converter (Macintosh)
k, a little explanation here:
take a wav file and convert it to 320 kbps. You'll lose a range of frequencies and other info, but it still sounds good. Hoewever, the info that is lost in the conversion is lost forever and cannot be rebuilt.
Convert a wav file into 128 and the same happens, just a little more loss on the info. Now, if you want to go convert that shit to 256 or 320, you'll be trying to add date that is lost and cannot be restored. The file info itself will say it's 256, but the sound quality is the same as 128. Plain and simple.
