orry, I should have said between 128 and 192. I only reencode down.

3.89 beta 1.  And, yes, everything's at 44100.

Like I said, it's no big deal if I can't figure it out, since ices
really
does tax my CPU with multiple streams (PIII 450).

May sound like a strange question, but I am inferring from your note that
you can take a lower bitrate mp3 and reencode to higher bitrate? I was
always under the impression that you could go down, but not up because the
required information was no longer within the mp3 file in order to step it
up.

If in fact this is the case, are there any requirements? i.e. does the
sample rate need to be 44.1 etc..

Gary.
