I have a question about changing bit rates on an mp3 file.
If I have a file which is 192kbps for example and convert it to 320kbps will it sound the same as a file which originally is 320kps or does it simply "turn the volume up"?
Thanks.
A question about audio conversion.

First of all, don't do this to play blog music or stuff you could've bought at 320 for a few cents extra.
To answer your question, no, it will not bring back the lost audio data, but you will notice a very big difference when spinning.
Sometimes I do this when a netlabel puts out a good release in a low bit rate.
I understand that not every one has the space for big files. I don't mind taking time to up-convert if the track is good.
192 is my personal cutoff point, no lower.
If it's 224 or higher, I don't do it.
