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?
Why on earth would you even consider doing this?
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?
