Constant bit rate (CBR) vs variable bit rate (VBR), which one should you choose?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"CBR<\/p>\n

How do you save memory when encoding in VBR?<\/p>\n

\"CBR<\/p>\n

What type of encoding to choose: variable or constant?
\nIf you want to rip music from CDs or other media where it is stored uncompressed in lossy formats like MP3, WMA, AAC, and others, you have to choose what bit rate you will do it with. Constant (CBR) or variable (VBR).<\/p>\n

Constant Bit Rate (CBR) encoding method<\/p>\n

CBR (Constant Bit Rate) – When encoding in CBR throughout the music file, the bit rate will remain unchanged and equal to the value you selected.
\nThe most common values \u200b\u200bare: 128, 192, 256, 320 kbps.<\/p>\n

The advantage of CBR encoding is that the file will be processed faster, both when encoding and decoding. Also, absolutely any program or hardware that is capable of playing music from MP3, WMA, AAC formats can do it if it is encoded in CBR, which cannot be said for the variable bit rate. Older hardware or software is not always compatible with CBR music playback.<\/p>\n

However, it should be noted that CBR encoded music eventually takes up more memory than the same VBR encoded music.<\/p>\n

Very often, CBR encoding is used for those cases where it will be transmitted over the network or when it is known in advance that it will be played on older equipment.<\/p>\n

A constant bit rate is important for the music that will be streamed over the network, as the data flow will be stable and if it is within the bandwidth of the network channel, the playback will be smooth, without jerks or interruptions. . But if you stream music compressed with a variable bit rate, difficulties can arise when a part of a song that is encoded with the maximum bit rate does not pass the channel bandwidth, causing gags during playback.

Variable Bit Rate (VBR) encoding
\nVBR (Variable Bit Rate) – When encoded in VBR, it is not constant but constantly changes as it is played.<\/p>\n

This encoding method allows you to increase the bit rate in difficult musical sections and decrease it in simpler musical sections, allowing the quality to remain roughly the same level, but at the same time saving memory space.<\/p>\n

VBR is used successfully and is compatible with most formats and software.<\/p>\n

VBR Supported Formats: MP3, WMA, OGG, AAC and others.<\/p>\n

The main advantage of variable over constant bitrate is to save memory space for storing music.<\/p>\n

When encoding in VBR, more complex and resource-intensive algorithms are used, so playback requires more computing power from the device. For this reason, some older computers may not play music from VBR.

How do you save memory when encoding in VBR?
\nCompression algorithms analyze not only the sound itself, but also its complexity, breaking it down into elementary components. Therefore, complex areas of music, where many instruments play at the same time, or the sound of an instrument often changes its pitch and volume, are encoded with the highest quality. But if simple seconds appear in the music, or if there is silence at all, these pieces are encoded at a much lower bitrate.<\/p>\n

Due to this approach, memory savings are achieved.<\/p>\n

But you should always remember that the main disadvantage of VBR is the inability to play music on old hardware or old software.

What type of encoding to choose: variable or constant?
\nIf you are absolutely sure that your encoded music will play on modern hardware, I recommend using a variable bit rate.<\/p>\n

If your music will be played on a wide range of computers, it is best to play it safely and encode it at a constant bit rate.<\/p>\n

All phones, players and computers that have been released in the last 10 years should support VBR playback without any problem, so in the vast majority of cases I recommend using VBR.<\/p>\n

In this way, the music will take up less memory, but at the same time it will retain high quality.<\/p>\n

It is especially important to use VBR if the music will be stored on portable devices such as mp3 players or phones. Although a large amount of memory has been incorporated lately, it is desirable to use it sparingly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
