Title: 320 MP3 VBR to CBR
Post by: padre on 2024-05-02 02:52:24
Hi. Could someone recommend a program for converting 320 kbps VBR mp3 to 320 kbps CBR mp3 without losing quality.
I read about mp3repacker but I can't find working link to download it (for Win XP) and I need some friendly GUI version because I'm not IT guy...

P.S. I don't need to reduse final file size - I don't care about it. I just need to keep original quality as much as possible.

*Sorry for my english

https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php/MP3packer link at the bottom comes with a GUI. So old it should work with XP.

(Where do you get 320 VBR? The only reason to convert those to CBR would be if some player chokes on it ...)

I don't think it's possible.

It is possible. MP3packer can inflate the smaller frames with nonsensical padding and turn a VBR file to larger CBR file retaining the old audio data as is. But it seems to fail to write a valid LAME tag/Xing header so gapless info disappears.
