I don't claim to know a whole lot about "bit rate" and all..but as has already been pointed out here: lowering the bit rate (from what little I've figured out) only makes the sound worse! If it's a poor recording to start with, changing the bit rate won't improve it; if anything, to improve quality of sound, it seems to me that one would want to raise the bit rate!

lets go back to something else here Live Who encoded them and what were the input levels? Lowering either the bit rate or sampling frequency would only further degrade the file or files.

Adrian,

Lowering the bit-rate wil not improve the situation.  There may be a
number of reasons why you are hearing distortion, and changint the
bit-rate will not fix this.

When you say distortion, do you mean over mudulation, or are you
hearing artifacts in the audio?

Hi

I have just got my new victor reader stream, when I play one
or two live tracks on the stream, they sound really
distorted because the are in a higher bit rate, would
lowering the bit rate solve this and in what program should
I lower the bit rate? I have easy cd converter as well as
the latest version and sound taxi to name but a few.
