    I have a CD made from MP3's with really bad sound. The voices are often muffled and muddy. It came with a language study book and is all spoken word. The original audio was probably reel to reel. They converted it to MP3 and put it on a CD to distribute with the book. I read the thread "Let's talk about the benefits of converting mp3 to wav files ". My question: Is there anything that I can do to fix or improve the quality of the sound? A plug in for Windows Media Player? An equalizer? A conversion program? Anything? Thanks.

    If the audio quality is poor to begin with, there's not a whole lot that can be done to increase the quality. However, you can use an audio editor to remove hiss, scratchiness, background noise, etc. I converted a 78 record of made by my father & family members in 1941. The quality was really bad. I was able to salvage most of the album using the free audio editor Audacity & its built in filters.
