To get the "best" out of it, you must use a player with an mp3PRO decoder (like the old RCA Lyra or MusicMatch Jukebox ) to reconstruct the high frequencies.
Open your encoder and configure these parameters:
Developed by Coding Technologies (later acquired by Thomson Multimedia, the parent company of MP3), MP3Pro was designed as a backward-compatible upgrade to the standard MP3. The "Pro" comes from a two-band splitting technique:
Use the LAME encoder with the --alt-preset insane setting for the highest possible MP3 quality (320 kbps CBR).
For modern users looking to manage collections or "get the best" from this or similar formats, specialized software is often required for reporting and conversion. Audio Collection Reporting
Warning: Do not convert from standard MP3 to MP3Pro. This creates "generation loss" (double compression), resulting in a watery, phasey sound.
