By not downgrading to 48k in the first place.\nBy trying to upgrade, you are merely giving your self a more accurate version of the 48k version.\nThink of it like this...\nIf you took a picture, then painted over it with only 8 colors, then took a picture of that, it would not suddenly show the first picture.

Yes, you can always change the bit-rate down. I can hear the difference at 64kbps. It sucks. My library is backed up at 192 kbps and sounds fine. I have since upgraded to a dual layer dvd burner & have been thinking up re-doing the whole thing to an even higher bit-rate but am unsure when more stops increasing quality. I believe cd quality is referred to by Windows Media Player to be approx. 128 kbps. I think the extra space/size helps when copying or burning. A small blemish taken from a music file 3 times the size will not be as noticeable as one noticeably smaller. Just my opinion.

I think that you need to play the file in a more encompassing software, such as realplayer or windows media, both of which are free.\nwww.real.com

Try Blaze Media Pro. I don't know for sure that it will do it. I haven't worked any with protected content. But it is an excellent audio converter. Here's a link to the trial version.

MP3s are already pretty compressed.  I doubt you're going to get much more compression out of them unless you severely degrade the quality of the music by reducing the bitrate.

I use a program called\nKeep in mind that reencoding audio from one format to another may result in quality loss.\n\nBy searching versiontracker.com, I found a few programs, such as the freeware called 'Ogg Drop.'

In the first place: this is illegal. Real Media does not want their files to be saved and/or converted. \nNevertheless you can find some utilities that claim they can do it. None of them is free. \nTry a google search for "real to mp3".

Download Real Player. It can convert most audio files into wav format. Also, try MusicMatch Jukebox.

i don't think it is possible to convert from 3GP to MP3 without using a software, because it basically a conversion from one compressed format to another and it requires re-writing of the file, using a different algorithm (or compression standard).

sometimes it works to simply rename the file extension. If that doesn't do it download.com might have an audio converter. Search "mp332 to mp3"
