    Anyone know of a program that will convert MP3-VBR files to MP3-CBR? MusicMatch claims it can to it but when I run the proceedure the output files appear to still have the characteristics of VBR files. :confused:

    All suggestions welcome. Thanks!

    Do hardware MP3 players not work with VBR?

    I'm using mp3scissors to cut sections out of a long mp3 file. The program kicks-up everytime it encounters a VBR file and won't produce the results I want.

    BTW, I couldn't really get much benefit out of CDex so any other suggestions are welcome!

    Converting VBR -> CBR isn't exactly the best thing to do, but if you're serious on doing it, there's two options (quite similar):

    a) burn the mp3s to a <u>cd-rw</u> and re-rip them to your desired rate, bear in mind it'll be point-less ripping high quality than the were first ripped at.

    b) convert files to wav, the convert back to mp3


    Possible alt option; if i remember correctly LAME can re-encode mp3s, if you don't mind using command-line tools, and have a compiler, search for LAME in google, you may be able to find binaries for Windows there. otherwise ask me and i can email you a binary i have.
