Does anybody know any programs that will reverse an MP3 without lowering the quality much? I want to be able to use some reversed audio samples in Garageband and Garageband and Slowdowner don't have an option to reverse the song. I don't want to have to use Final Cut Pro every time I want to reverse an MP3! Any suggestions?
 
Sound Studio?
It works for me.
I'm not sure about lowering sound quality but I can't tell the difference when I reverse a 128kbps mp3 or aac.
 
Technically, it is not possible to reverse the compression without losing quality as the compression already removed some of that information to achieve the compression in the first place. That said I think that most (ie not audiophiles/picky people) don't really hear the difference between CD adn MP3. I know I can't and so reversing the compression doesn't bother me other than intellectually.

I thought by reversing mp3s he ment playing them backwards like here
Oh maybe he did. I assumed he meant put them back into AIFF. Now I wonder which he meant. :)
