Modifying bitrates in MP3s

Hi there,

I have an MP3 file which plays fine on my computer, but refuses to play on my mp3 cd player, or on my mp3 car cd player.

The bitrate is not 128 or 192, in other words, it's not in a bitrate that is recognisable on a CD player. "Sampling error" comes up on my car mp3 player.

If I can figure out a way to get the original bitrate of my file to 128 or 192, I might be able to rectify the problem and play the aforementioned audio clip on my CD player and in my car.

If I re-imported the file into iTunes by selected "128" as the importing preferences, do you think that would do the trick?

Thanks
David
 
Chances are the mp3 file is encoded with a variable bitrate which may not be recognized by some mp3 cd players. re-encoding it with iTunes at a straight 128 will probably work, but you're going to get some quality loss re-encoding an already compresed file.
