I swear to you that if you hear it, it's placebo affect. ABX testing, which you can do in Foobar, would prove me right. I am known to have extraordinary hearing and I've confirmed these results to myself. I was pretty bummed actually Last Edit : by db If you don't care for space just use CBR VBR is to save space but also aims to keep quality constant. Technically cbr should be the best quality mp3. There is no easy setting for k vbr and V0 is much lower like k.

Is it best to use one over the other when it comes to certain types of music or different genres of music? User profile for user: Alan Rosenthal Alan Rosenthal. Maybe it was discussed before, but i could not find it For a non-technical mind like mine, it seems that CBR MP3 lame encoding should provide the best possible quality in MP3's audio output. But i read a discussion about joint-stereo vs real-stereo which made me wonder.
Is it possible to achieve the same quality using VBR? The advantage of using the CBR method is that audio data typically processes faster compared to the alternatives.
However, the files that are created aren't as well optimized for quality-versus-storage, as is the case with VBR. CBR is useful for streaming multimedia files. If the connection is limited to only performing at Kbps, a constant bitrate of Kbps per second or lower is more beneficial than one that changes throughout the transmission since it could go higher than what's allowed.
VBR allows the bitrate of an audio file to dynamically increase or decrease within a target range. You can usually achieve a smaller file size by encoding audio with VBR rather than CBR because of the way the bitrate is altered depending on the nature of the sound.
The bitrate reduces for silence or quieter parts of a song. For more complex areas of a song that contain a mix of frequencies, the bitrate increases up to Kbps to ensure sound quality is maintained. This variation in bitrate reduces the storage space needed compared to CBR.
However, the disadvantage of VBR encoded files is that they might not be compatible with older electronic devices like CBR is. It also takes longer to encode audio using VBR because the process is more complex. Unless you're restricted by old hardware that only supports audio formats encoded using CBR, then VBR is the recommended method.
VBR gives you the best balance between quality and file size. It's therefore ideal for portables that have limited storage or where you want to make efficient use of other storage solutions like USB flash drives or flashcards.
