I use Dab to rip wav files, but I want to reencode them to 320 kb/s MP3s on android. I can't seem to find a good program to do that. Any suggestions? (I can already do it on desktop, I specifically need mobile)

I don't know how to do it on Android, but look into variable bit rate (VBR) rather than 320 kb/s. 320 kb/s is a constant bit rate (CBR), and means that silence is given the same quality and detail as the busiest track, and takes up space for no reason.

The highest VBR setting, V0, is indistinguishable from 320, but saves space. Depending on your ears and the phone speakers, you might be able to drop the quality slightly and save more space 👍

Thanks! I might try vbr for a few and see if I notice a quality difference with that, last time I tried it, I looked at it in audacity and the waveforms were a tad off so I have just fallen back on 320 CBR mostly, but it might sound fine honestly.

It is highly unlikely you will be able to hear a difference.

If you have golden ears or are just that worried, why not use a lossless codec like flac?
