I am using Audio Catalyst to rip and encode my CD's . But I have the feeling my mp3 files sound worse than the CD's , no , I hear they sound worse ! Because I also have a Alpine Cd player next to my Empeg in my car.
I use ASPI mode , buffered burts copie and VBR highest level.
I want the best quality mp3's possible and I don't care for file size. Will using CBR sound better than VBR ? I did try some different settings , but that didn't help. Any hints on good software.
