Flv to Mp3 settings

Post by shinnen » Tue Aug 12, 2008 10:53 pm

Hi,
When I use Freez to convert Flv to mp3 the default frequency is 22050, and the bitrate is 128. Are these good setting for normal listening?
Thanks,
.... john

Why are you asking us? This is the Audacity support forum, not the Freez support forum.

If you were exporting music from Audacity as MP3, I would recommend using the "Standard" Preset - this equates to about 190kbps and is reasonably good quality. 120kbps is the typical setting used on the internet, but is a bit lower in quality than I would want for listening to music.

Hi Steve,
I didn't realize this was an inappropriate question. I think of you guys as the resident gurus concerning these sorts of issues.
Thanks.

No problems john, (flattery will get you most things :D)
Hopefully the information I gave answered your question?

Try different compression levels and have a listen to see if the quality is acceptable:
Higher compression = smaller file size / lower quality
Lower compression = larger file size / better quality.

Whenever practical, keep an uncompressed (wav) backup copy, then you can always make new MP3 versions at a later date if you wish (CDs are useful for the backups).
