Are panasonic dvd players capable of playing 22khz mp3s?
I know sony only supports 40 something khz
I converted my mp3 to mp3pro which converted all of them to 22khz and now i cant play it in the new sony dvd player i bought, and i was wondering what brand can play these 22khz mp3s?
also, is there a way to convert to mp3pro without converting to 22 khz using nero?
thanks

Do NOT convert your MP3s to MP3PRO. Its advantage over other formats consists of the ability to play the "non-pro" part in older MP3 players - but that one will have a poor quality, so you don't gain too much from this compatibility.
If you think MP3 is not enough for you, you should try MP4/AAC, WMA or OggVorbis. How old is your Panasonic DVD player? Recent models are able to play WMA, which is better than MP3.
I never heard of any Panasonic to recognize MP3PRO, so the only thing you'll get (if anything) is a crappy playback of the MP3PRO without the "PRO" extensions. If your Panasonic is too old and doesn't play WMA, stick with MP3 (for your Panasonic), or use OggVorbis (computer-only). OggVorbis is unencumbered by patents (so *legal* free encoders and decoders will always be available), there is a Winamp plugin for it, and the quality is better than that of MP3PRO.Cosmin -
My SONY DVPNS-315 plays 32, 41 and 48 mhz.
Not sure which player supports 22, but why would that be important?
And yes, forget MP3 PRO. -
A little lesson here...
Mp3 is actually Mpeg 1 Layer 3, right? Well, Mpeg 1 only supports 32, 44.1, and 48 kHz sample rates. The Mpeg 2 audio extensions allow for lower sample rates (including 22.050 kHz or "22k"). It's very possible that the Panasonic only supports Mpeg1 audio, not the Mpeg2 extensions. It may have nothing at all to do with the "Pro" aspect.
BTW, I agree with the others. Avoid MP3Pro like the plague. There are better alternatives, both in std bitrate MP3 encoders (incl. VBR/ABR) and in other formats (Ogg, AAC, WMA).

hey guys thanks for the response.
i wish i had avoided mp3pro but too late, i encoded alot of my songs (2 or 3 cds worth) about a year ago, with the promise from the mp3pro people that products would be out by last fall. Well they were wrong and now im screwed. Oh well. I emailed panasonic and apparently panasonic players are capable of playing mp3pro files at 22.05 khz but obviously none of the extra PRO quality. Sony cant play it at all. i actually just bought the sony 315 but i cant play any of my mp3s. I think i will return it to get the panasonic rv32k but it doesnt have coaxial. From experience i have noticed that it seems that sony players read cds better than panasonic. Any opinions on which player i should get??? I have also thought about the cheap rca but heard its crap. Is pioneer good?
thanks -
I have a Panasonic RV-32, and I am *very* happy with it. Don't worry about coaxial, it has optical cable, and in the future you may buy a Creative Audigy or another thing that accepts digital audio via optical cable. That is the best audio quality you can get. In the meantime, you could by an adaptor from RCA cables to coaxial - that should be cheap.
Also, think that you may want to copy some new music sometime in the future, and probably you won't use MP3PRO anymore. You will be able to use WMA with Panasonic.
About reading CDs - well, so far my machine played everything I give to it. Anyhow, I never buy noname CD blanks. Decent brands have now very decent prices, and I had bad experiences with noname CDs before, on my computer: they are unacceptably less durable.
Not to mention the DVD player itself, which has a few very nice DVD playing features (RV-32 is richer than NS-315, which is roughly its Sony equivalent). It has only a single drawback: the remote is not as intuitive as that of Sony. But otherwise -- I bought that Panasonic, so far I never regretted that.
Cheers,

I converted my mp3 to mp3proCorned beef is now made to a higher standard than at any time in history.
The electronic components of the power part adopted a lot of Rubycons. -
