VBR varies the audio quality so "consistently high audio quality throughout an encoded file" is a load of bull. VBR isn't constant high quaility beceause you don't NEED it to be high quality when your ears will not hear it. VBR varies the data rate depending on whats happening in the music. eg if its silence then it drops the data rate and when the music intensifies it brings the data rate back up. CBR uses the same data rate reguardless. sounds like music match over did on the PR bull. |

| 283278 | 2004-10-22 18:53:00 | A lot of it depends also on the piece of music being recorded, eg a classical piece with a lot of distinctly different sections will benefit more than would a piece of constantly loud head-banging rock | Greg S (201) | ||

There are some who claim that 128kbps is "Cd quality" when it clearly isn't. I used to be a CBR 192kbps fan, though when you encode an mp3 with Lame at the "Extreme" preset, you will notice better response all round. Specific Lame codecs also provide better quality than others. I believe 3.90.3 remains the standard? Anyway, if you are really interested in the topic of mp3 and understanding how to get the best out of your CD collection, then Chris Myden's Quintessential Guide to Creating High Quality mp3's (www.afterdawn.com) is a must read.
