Does anyone know of a filter or program that will make mp3's sound more natural. I've noticed that mp3's have a digitized sound to them(sound a little harsh), would like to take the edge off
of them(sound a little more natural). I know mp3's will always have that processed sound.
Thanks

The sound quality of an .mp3 is souly based on it's encoding. If it sounds crap after the EQ, then it is. Personally, i prefer .FLAC (zero compression lossless audio) instead of .mp3 since it's a 1:1 version of the song with no audible artifacts.

If you can't find what you're looking for in .FLAC, look for the highest bitrate possible (320kbps is the highest common .mp3 compression). I will -never- make a CD with .mp3s that are 160kpbs or lower.

When evolution selects its agents, it does so at a cost, makes demands in exchange for singularity, and you may be asked to do something against your very nature. This force, evolution, is not sentimental. Like the Earth itself, it knows only the hard facts of life's struggle with death. All you can do is hope and trust that when you have served its needs faithfully, there may still remain some glimmer of the life you once knew.

and use VBR (variable bitrate) when encoding mp3s...MUCH MUCH MUCH better than constant bitrate

"I have no particular talent. I am merely inquisitive" - Albert Einstein

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:
