Vbr?
What's this VBR thing, I have two VBR encoded mp3's o 72mins, but one of them is 10M while the other is 84M.
Odd thing is, I can't notice any quality loss in the 10M compared to the 84M one. It's amazing compression though!!!!

19kbit :eek:
I would have thought that it would sound terrible.
Is there anywhere I can get this VBR encoder from so that I can test the compression myself?

isn't vbr the encoder or to do with the encryption ??

VBR Encoding is a method of dynamic encoding wherein the bit rate is altered continuously according to the content of the music. Complex passages can thus be encoded at higher bit rates, whilst simpler passages are encoded at lower bit rates. In this way, VBR aims to strike a balance between better sound quality and better data compression. The primary advantage of this method is that it allows for better encoding of music with a very wide dynamic range, such as certain orchestral pieces for example. The primary disadvantages are that VBR invariably yields somewhat larger file sizes, the improvement in sound quality is often quite imperceptible, and VBR is by no means universally implemented at the present time. Only a few encoders (most notably Audio Catalyst) support VBR encoding, and some decoders and hardware players may be confused by VBR files — incorrectly reporting track times in some cases, and simply refusing to play in others.

It still amazing :) I can't notice any difference @ all :D
19kbit :D:D:D
