Although this has nothing to do with programming, I feel there has to be someone out there who can answer this. I have a .wav file in this format: PCM 22,050 Hz, 16 Bit, Mono. There are many files like this, and I want to burn them to CDs. To do this, I need to change the format to CD- quality (44,100 16 Bit, stereo). But when I try to do this using Window's converter, it sounds worse in CD quality than it did in the lower form! I get buzzing, ringing, distortion and all sorts of other noise when I translate it like that. My question is: is it even possible to take a sound file of non-CD quality and convert it to CD quality and have it sound exactly the same? I doubt it, but I'm not sure; that's why I'm asking. Thanks.
