MP3 Quality Modifier makes it really easy to change the bitrate of your mp3 music collection so that the filesize can be dramatically reduced. With this advantage it's possible to put more music on your mp3-player or just to save some disk space. Even advanced tasks are possible: Downsampling, changing the used channels and so on. With the included presets it's simpler than ever before to manage all those settings. Best of all is that - unlike other software - the ID3 tags (title, album pictures etc.) will be completely retained without any effort.

    Why would one use this? It's not complicated. My cell phone has a MicroSD card, and even if I get a "dirt cheap" 2-GB card for it, the space is still limited. I have lots of music files.

    And here's the kicker--the music sounds pretty bad* irrespective of whether I use 128-kbps or 320-kbps files. So does it not make sense to reduce the bigger files in size and theoretical quality, so I can fit more music? (This is the part where you slowly nod your head.) The limiting quality factor is the phone, not the files, so this utility does have its place.

    * By "pretty bad", I mean compared to when I'm listening at the computer with my Sennheiser HD-600 headphones. Telling me to get a better phone is absolutely missing the point.

    Many commercial "mp3 quality changers" out there and if you want to reduce the bitrate than this freeware is quite good.

    And well I really need it for my old 512mb mp3-player ;-)

    on the plus side its free .... on the minus side its such a terrible idea to transcode your mp3s to another size

    DONT DO IT

    OK, this is simply garbage.

    Anyone who knows the first thing about lossy encoding is aware that re-encoding mp3s (or any lossy format for that matter) WILL result is additional quality loss that goes beyond what would be lost if you had encoded to the new bitrate natively in the first place.

    Hard drive space is dirt cheap. mp3 players with Gb capacity are dirt cheap. So why would you be stupid enough to use this dreck? And why would you create it in the first place?

    ONE star.
