Yet another mp3 to mp3 conversion thread

I want to convert my higher bitrate mp3 files to 128kbps mp3s for my iRiver & iPod, most of the files are 192-320kbps, on various settings......vbr, cdr etc.....
How much of a quality loss will the files suffer as a result of this?

the correct answer would be something between none and a lot.

Just try it damnit, this question was answered just yesterday. If you already acknowledge this is YET another thread, what is so special about your question that it deserves a new one?

I used the expression 'Yet another" because the other threads went over my head.....i'm new at this......ripping Cds is the extent of my knowldege, only recently found out about the LAME encoder........so this is a bit of a learning phase....

Unfortunately no one can give you a more accurate answer than that there is a large possibility that you will lose quality. But this is far from quantifiable and differs from person to person. Like I said, the only way to find out is to try out yourself. I doubt there is any proven "good" way of how to transcode.
