If you take a 96 kbps mp3 and reencode it to 128 kbps, the quality won't actually be the same, it will be less. Also, if you take a 128 kbps mp3, and edit a period of it, then reencode it to a 128 kbps mp3, the quality if the whole stream will be less, not just the edited part.
If you want to play your music through your stereo, you might try getting a portable CD player and connecting that with your stereo system that plays mp3, very cheap, and then you can burn lots on one CD and use the same CD in your computer. Or maybe your DVD player already plays mp3s if that's with your stereo.
