I'm trying to determine what preset is the best to use on a program between: 1. MP3 Old Standard 192 (192Kbps, 44100 Hz, Stereo) 2. MP3 Extreme Quality (VBR, 48000 Hz, Joint Stereo) The file size between the two is minimal. What concerns me is the CBR vs. VBR, sampling rate and joint vs. non-joint stereo. I've included a couple of songs to test, sorry if they are not to your liking. Link to song 1: [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?k09kqa1os7gq5so[/url] Extreme preset: [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?paiavo1l1ob546b[/url] Link to song 2: [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?b5bgkenenlpao1g[/url] Extreme preset: [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?qrg43h0a0495s80[/url] Yes, they are safe. If you don't trust me, I can upload in .zip format or provide VT reports. Thanks guys.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;30383662]Why would you use VBR[/QUOTE] That was literally my very first thought. Why is the old standard deprecated (#1), it seems so much better than VBR. But then #2 has a higher sampling rate and joint stereo, which is supposedly better.
#2 but then 256 and beyond that is what i prefer.
Ummm...why are you using MP3 at all?
[QUOTE=firestorm0;30385087]Ummm...why are you using MP3 at all?[/QUOTE] It's a widely accepted standard, supported by many players and rather open-source.
