CBR Vs VBR
Constant Bit Rate or Variable Bit Rate?? Well, if you want your music to have the very best in quality, I&#39;d choose CBR. If you want your music to sound like &#39;Mïcrösöül°V³&#39;s&#39;, choose VBR. He probably doesn&#39;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 &#39;still loving you&#39; 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&#39;s got
with &#39;professional frequency conversion&#39; off, the song sounded like shite
had to re-rip

not flaming ya or nothin bro, but someone misinformed ya

Just thought I&#39;d let you know that when I played a VBR mp3 I downloaded, the &#39;bits you can&#39;t hear&#39; (like so many people have ranted about) are the pauses and areas in songs where there is no music. You can hear &#39;squelching&#39; and all sorts and you can physically tell when the mp3 is using a higher bitrate in some parts of the song than in others.

I don&#39;t pretend to know the be all and end all of mp3&#39;s, but I do hear quality when I hear it. If you ever turn your speakers up during a VBR test you&#39;ll see what I&#39;m talking about.

Besides, why must a VBR mp3 have cause to higher the bitrate and lower it at certain points during the song? I would pretty much like my music to continually sound like it was meant to be, not altered.

what you are describing is a rip/encode that someone highly fucked up.
