why?

Maybe because this thread doesn't make any sense or this thread is useless or maybe because the thread starter got his answer?

this is stupid
this has nothing to do with filesharing
he just wants to know which is better
just cause you saw a release group name doesn't mean it can't be discussed...
i know it's looked down upon, but is TA turning into nazi germany?
if you see a huge wad of cash in my pocket does it mean i robbed a bank?

no its not... the whole point of a VBR is to keep quality when needed but retain similar size as a CBR of lesser quality

Personally i dont think theres much of a difference in the quality. you have to be one picky mofo to complain about the quality at that rate. anything above 128 is fine to me

Yeah, if you look at most digital download sites on the net, they feature mostly 320/192 kbps CBR MP3s. The only site I know of that has the option for 192 kbps VBR MP4's is BeatPort, and i've listened to both and there is not a big difference really in sound quality. If there was a big difference, it would cost more, and really the only ones that they could feature that would be better are WAV or Flac files, and I guess Oog, Real Audio or WMA files sound slightly better. But really even those don't have that big of a difference. BeatPort is also the only site I know that offers WAVs, but it costs extra and you can't download them yet.

Maybe on your lap-top speakers or walkman, but on a real stereo the difference appear!

HaAH, Man. Im talking about on my Yamaha RX-V1200 with Infinity's. Trust me, I know what sound good and what doesnt. but when ur talking about anything above 160kbps it doesn't make much of a difference. unless we get into analog...



And yes, i get some bangin quality with this biatch.

I dont want it if its not vbr or 320.

UWM, please if you don't contribute, shut up, thanks!

thanks for the answers, i was wondering to know

Most people can't tell the difference above 128, and fewer still above 192. 192 is as low as I'll go, but anything above that is just bonus to me. If every DJ in the world started playing everything in 192kbps mp3s, I don't think anyone would care except for an insignificantly tiny ammount of hardcore audiophiles.

THATS THE WHOLE POINT OF VBR'S. less bandwidth SAME HIGH QUALITY. do ya's get it?

bottome line: VBR > CBR (for mp3) by many leaps and bounds. anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what he or she is talking about.

It depends on what the VBR range is, and how old the encoder is...

now thats not too clever telling a moderator of these forums to shut up.

if you wish to discuss VBR over CBR please do so but without involving this site with release groups or the downloading of illegal mp3 files
