Can anyone here hear the difference? (Let's say 320 CBR mp3 vs. 320 VBR mp3)

Doubt it, but I can set up some ABX tests if anyone is really curious to test themselves.

:P
I don't think I can hear any difference between VBR and CBR tbh.

Would be fun to test though, so that would be nice of you JiveBoJingles :)

No. And I bet most of the people don't either.

I'll just use Total Commander to scan for the encoder used then Adobe Audio to see the frequency and deduce wether it's real or not. ;)

I only have one album in 24 bit in the first place (CDs and Beatport WAVs are 16, after all), so for most of my music that would just be an upconversion from 16 bit, which would make no difference to the sound.

Someone else with a good amount of 24 bit music is welcome to try it, though...

Okay here is the test. 10 tracks, 3 sound files each, some different genres and different years. First file is CBR, second is VBR, third is the "X" that you need to identify:

(1) CBR | VBR | X

(2) CBR | VBR | X

(3) CBR | VBR | X

(4) CBR | VBR | X

(5) CBR | VBR | X

(6) CBR | VBR | X

(7) CBR | VBR | X

(8) CBR | VBR | X

(9) CBR | VBR | X

(10) CBR | VBR | X

Probability of getting all the unknowns correct by chance is 1 in 1024. Have at it.
