Much has been speculated about the bitrate. Most people do not understand clearly what it is. A few understand, but almost nobody knows if a file with 320 kbps really sounds different or better than the same file but with 128 kbps.<\/p>\n

The easiest way is to test:<\/p>\n

It should be taken into account that at higher kbps, if there is a higher quality – although it is not always noticeable – and will always use more disk space.<\/p>\n

Therefore it is not the best option to say “all my mp3s will be 320 kbps”, unless the space does not mean any problem at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
