mp3-crc / mp3 corruption check

[Unregistered]

hi spoon..
this is ralph
well just wanna ask you some questions...

1. is there any need of adding crc in mp3 .if yes then , does it effect sound quality as i heard in HYDROGEN FORUMS dat adding crc into mp3s affect sound quality...
2. i have lots of mp3s some r mostly ripped ones....in vbr by dbpoweramp.
doest it really affect the quality of sound if i transcode dem " JUST ONCE " to some other bitrate. As i ain't got any difference in sound quality but technically , i wanna need ur sugestion as i want to make my entire collection error free !
3. I am also using MP3 TEST software to check errors in mp3...it shows mostly " 0.01 % " to " 6.8 % "....so just suggest me would i ignore them or i should transcode them to new mp3 ?

plzz help me out slovin this prob !

Re: mp3-crc / mp3 corruption check

CRC checking is not really used on mp3s, it shouldn't make the quality noticably worse.

Ignore the errors, transcoding will not help.
