[QUOTE="speedracerx, post: 2213596, member: 564120"] One thing that threw me was the VRP option. Manual says this: Variable Bitrate vs Constant Bitrate Encoding The PhatNoise Media Manager uses Constant Bitrate Encoding (CBR) by default. Variable Bitrate Encoding (VBR) is a more efficient way of encoding. Variable Bitrate Encoding ensures high audio quality throughout the MP3 file by making intelligent bit-allocation decisions during the encoding process. This means that the encoder will determine what bitrate to use depending on the complexity of the audio signal. It will use more bits when necessary and use fewer bits when appropriate. The VBR Quality setting determines the ratio of high/low bitrate audio frames (a frame is 1/75th of a second of audio data) The higher the VBR Quality, the higher the sound quality of the MP3 file. VBR encoding requires more processing power, so it takes a little longer. When I started useing the VBR at 320 Kbps, it took about 30 sec. per song as apposed to - well alot more with CBR at 190. I never went back to the CBR to side by side check quality - so am I correct in assuming VBR = more quality, cause I understood it said its slower and my ripps were 10x faster. [/QUOTE]
