MP3 help

[robertbiferi]

I have two WAV File that are the same but one is 44.1 kHz Stereo at 16 Bit and the other is 22050 kHz Mono at 8. Bit

I put them both through MP3 Encoding at 98 kbps.

They both come out 638 kB in Size??????????????

I don't understand this because I thought the WAV File that is 22050 kHz Mono at 8. Bit already is a por quality so wen I put it throu the MP3 Encoding it should be even Smaller then the other.

Please explane???

Hi robertbiferi,
It doesn't matter what the original quality is. Encoding makes them exactly same. If the length of the WAVs are same the size will be same too.
You could encode 8 bit mono to mono mp3 and then it might be smaller.
