CBR Vs VBR
Constant Bit Rate or Variable Bit Rate?? Well, if you want your music to have the very best in quality, I'd choose CBR. If you want your music to sound like 'Mïcrösöül°V³'s', choose VBR. He probably doesn't have a clue what this is either.

dumb question, why would you choose a fixed bitrate over variable?
the music changes tempo, has peaks, theres all kinda sh*t going on,
why limit what your music sounds like?
try ripping the scorpions 'still loving you' at, say,
192 kb/s CBR and see if it dont feck up
the only thing that saved it at a CBR was the good frequency conversion
that dbpoweramp's got
with 'professional frequency conversion' off, the song sounded like shite
had to re-rip

not flaming ya or nothin bro, but someone misinformed ya

OK let me encode all my stuff to 64 bit rate

just to save space then you guys can dl it off me and improve the quality

As I said before I didn&#39;t know what bitrate it was&#33; Maybe you didn&#39;t understand what I said, if I had known the songs had sucha low bitrate I wouldn&#39;t have downloaded it.

What Program does not show the Bitrate?Thank God for SoulSeek.


I mean what in the hell?Even shitty Kazaa Lite showed the Bitrate. [/b][/quote]
and even shitty kazaa reports the bit rate wrong

I was trying to Hunters and collators album kazaa had it as 64 bit rate but I knew something was wrong coz the file was bigger then 128

played it on WMP and it showed up as 518 bit rate

BTW CBR is better then VBR

BTW: CBR is a waste of MegaBytes

what&#39;s a few megs between friends?

it&#39;s only a problem if you don&#39;t have much hdd space or a slow connection, and i&#39;d rather have cbr rips for greater quality than vbr to save a few hundred k per track

you think you&#39;re the don on this issue, so you explain to me how a vbr rip up to 192k is the same quality as a 192k cbr rip, please

You think you know everything Sparsely??

You post as if "I KNOW IT all and nothing else is better your all wrong tone"

Volume wise 192 bit is better VBR sounds too flat

Now thats to my ears

there is no right or wrong or better or worse way.

and I&#39;m not going to waste my time here posting anymore comparing apples to oranges its ridiculous
