Hi! I have many songs in my pc that are encoded in mp3 format ranging from 128kbps - 320kbps mp3. I would like to know whether i should burn them all into an mp3 cd or an audio cd? The most important thing is the sound quality, nothing else..

If your songs are already mp3, you may as well burn them as mp3 files rather than convert them back to audio files. At 128kbps an mp3 file is about 3MB for a 3 minute song) whereas an audio file is about 20MB. mp3 files are compressed further than audio files and therefore you have already lost quality that cannot be recovered!

I don't know your situation / application but unless you're in some type of studio environment you won't notice the difference in sound quality either way.
If you have a player that will play an mp3 cd I would go that route as it will allow you to put many more songs on one cd than an audio cd will allow.

depending on the amount of music you have if it's alot it will be best if you burn it all on MP3 CD cause it will fit on just a few where as if you burn the music in normal audio cd format it will require alot more cds....as for the quality you can use an encoder to maintain 192 kbps 44khz CD quality for all songs ....it works for me....hope this helps you in some way.

If they are all in MP3 format, then you will get the same quality burning them either way. It doesn't matter.
If you want the best quality then stop ripping CD's as MP3s, and rip them as another format, because MP3's are compressed and have less quality, although they take up a ton less space. So it would depend on your hard drive space I guess.

What are you going to play the CD with? That's the question you should be asking.
EDIT: Since your home stereo likely don't play MP3 CD, you will have to burn them as audio CD.

mp3 sound quality is the better, and mp3 gives you the artist and track name and audio cd doesn't. you can burn the cd with mp3 format because everything can play mp3. so you want to burn the music in mp3 format.

Might as well leave them as mp3! Once you ripped them, some of the original data was removed and converting them back to cda or cd audio wont put this data back! The only way to get them back to original is to start with the original cda and leave it as cda.
