Hmm, I wondered about this.
So if you were to rip an original at 320k mp3, and transcode/re-encode it again at 192k mp3 with the same encoder, would the quality of the final 192k mp3 file be the as if same you ripped the original straight to 192 in the first place?
(Thinking of a scenario where you would want to fit more tunes on your dap, but have bigger files on your pc. Of course in this situation best to rip original files to a lossless format if u have room on your pc)
