- Here are the file sizes included.


Here are some references I found that addresses these questions:

Argument for VBR at 160 kbps

http://mp3decoders.mp3-tech.org/vbr.html



=====================



I use Cool Edit. I decided to look at some parameters for the same
song:

Quality (10-100) Kbps Range Max Bandwidth File Size

CBR NA 128 15804
4,429
4,429 KB

VBR 50 105-140 (128) 17640
4,438
4,438 KB

VBR 70 125-175 (160) 19170
5,506
5,506 KB

The VBR at 50 had an average Kbps of 128, 70 - 160.

==================

Since I am only going to play these on my computer or player then
support for VBR does not seem to be an issue. I have decided to use
VBR at a Quality of 70 unless someone changes my mind.

Any thoughts?
