I don't know if it's already asked, but I used the search and found nothing.
Let's suppose I have burnt an audio CD with a 192kbps mp3 I encoded right from an original to listen on a car.
What happens with the sound quality if I rip this copy in 192kbps using the same encoder? The quality will drop even when I use the same codec (that has the same psychoacoustic model)?
Anyone can shed some light on this?
Thank you.
Respect!

i think it will... But i'm not entirely sure because i don't know exactly how mp3-encodiing works, it might be that u get the same mp3 afterwards... But i'm 90% sure that there will be more destruction. |

If i understood well, u made a copy out of an original cd...
The copy u made is in 192 mp3 format for your car... (I dont get it y u did that but anyways)
What u r asking is, if u make another copy from the copy cd, with the same format 192, if the quality will change??
If that was your question well, no. The quality would not change, cause u r doing digits copy, that is y we call it digital... U are copying digits which means that is not the same like u make a copy from a tape and then again on another tape and it looses quality...
When u make a copy if u do not touch the format the quality remains the same...
I hope i helped...

You question is ambiguous. Is the CD you have in the car:
1) a regular audio CD, that I can play in my shitty stereo at home, or is it
2) an MP3 CD that my computer can read?
If it's 1) then throw it away and do a straight CD quality copy for the car - you gain absolutely nothing by ripping an original CD to MP3 and burning an audio CD of the MP3. This is like asking the question "My face hurts when I punch myself. What can I do about it?".
If it's 2) then just copying the MP3 files from this CD to another CD will not lose quality.

If you mean you have copied an MP3 to a regular uncompressed audio CD (converting to PCM) then the effects of re-compressing this to MP3 will be to massively reduce the quality. Don't do it! Can't be bothered to go into a long explaination - you can probably find it on google... |

Thank you all for trying to help.
Ok, let me make things clear with another example.
Let's supose I had some mp3 192 kbps on my computer and I burnt a CD with them (in audio format). So I got a music CD.
Let's suppose I use MusicMatch junkbox or any other program to rip this CD to mp3 192 kbps format.
What will happen to the quality?
I know I would never do that, I would just make another 100% total quality WAV CD, but I wanna know the answer.
Thank you!
Respect!
