So I'm muddling thru Windows BIAB 2016 w/ 2017 upgraded RTs.
I created a song on my laptop (Windows 10), converted it to .mp3 and e-mailed it to my PC (Windows 7) to play on iTunes, but it sounds faint and dull on the PC.
The mp3 version sounds great on the laptop, tho the file is identified as .WAV and not mp3 as I had specified at file conversion. What gives?
Thanks.


I think it always will. I'm no expert, but my understanding of history is that Apple wanted to load as many songs on to the 32Mb memory of the iPod as it could. Bear in mind, this was the dark ages of memory. Mine has 4Gb now.
OK, so this guy comes along, takes an MP2 (stereo) and adds a third track.
That third track went along and eliminated everything it could. If there was a pause or a silence, the third track would simply tell the audio file when to cut and when to resume. We're talking high tech nano second stuff, here. Basically, a midi on steroids.
The MP3 are made to be played on portable players. What you are hearing is compression quality. Your machine is probably just fine.
