44KHz or 48KHz?? Flac to Mp3 -V 0

[cyphera9]

Hi there.

I'm converting alot of my FLAC music to MP3 VBR -V 0 to get the best sound quality I can for the lowest size for iPod use.

I've been wondering which frequency should ideally be used. I noticed 48KHz was the highest and for some reason reasoned that it would be the best but i've noticed 44KHz tracks are higher filesizes.

Which should I use to get the best possible sounding VBR MP3, should I stick to 'As Source'?

Cheers guys :o

Normally you would convert as the same as the source, so if the FLACs came from CD they would be 44.1KHz and that should be used.

Yeah that makes sense, thanks alot

As I have only just picked up on this now and have converted quite a few FLAC albums ripped from cd at 44KHz to MP3 at 48KHz, will this be a problem or a detrement to the MP3s I have as a result.

Again thanks Spoon!!
