mp3s from cd rip tagged as 48000

So I've ripped a CD a while ago, and was perplexed to find they saved as 48000, or at least that's what the tags state.
I then realized CDs are 44100... so It must be an issue with tagging.

How do change mp3 tags to 44100?

The engineer responsible must've tagged files incorrectly...

Thanks

Sample rate is not a tag, it is encoded into every data frame. If the file is truly 48000 and you want to change it to 44100 then the only way is to decode to wav, resample to 44100, and reencode to mp3.

What software is telling you that the sample rate is 48000?

I guess you could rerip the CDs but I probably would just live with it.

Does it play back at the correct pitch and speed? If so, you probably have nothing to worry about.

44.1k mp3 or 48k mp3 would not matter (except in special situations).

You have ripped to a lossy format, which means that the file isn't bit-by-bit identical to the original signal anyway - it just sounds like it is, and that is the point of it.
