How to encode MP3 with surround/SRS? And is it important to encode with surround for music player to play them with surround effects? However my music player has the option of SRSWOWHD but I'm new with this and not sure if the MP3 has to be encoded with SRS to play in my music player or they don't need? Which software?|||MP3's are only capable of mono, and stereo. There are ways of getting a fake surround sound from them. But I would recommend not going this route, because MP3's we're never meant to be listened to in surround sound. Audio CDs are also just stereo as well, so you can never rip the music from a CD, and properly get a surround sound experience from it. Your mp3 player should automatically take the stereo sound from your MP3s, and convert them to a virtual surround sound through your head phones. But it will not be a true surround sound, because head phones have only two speakers. A Proper surround sound can only be achieved by a home theater sound system, or 5.1 computer speaker set up. Many TVs even advertised SRS surround sound. It's similar to Dolby Digital. Dolby Digital would take a stereo record, or Audio Cassette tape, and give you a virtual surround sound from two speakers.





You can only get true 5.1 surround sound, if your source material was encoded with surround sound from the get go. CDs, audio cassette tapes, Vinyl, and MP3s, are all stereo sources. DVD, and Blue- Ray, are 5.1, or better. (The newest surround, is 7.1 surround sound.) Unfortunately there isn't a true surround sound format that is used for 5.1 music. The music industry doesn't support true surround sound. However there are a few notable exceptions. There was a few audio music releases on Blue-Ray Disk, and DVD-Audio Disk. But you would need special players to play these formats properly. And there not that well supported.





I hope this helps.
