VBR (Variable Bit Rate encoding) adjusts the bit rate depending on the sound. For example, if there is silence in a song, the bit rate would decrease and if there is a full symphonic sound the bit rate would increase. VBR offers a higher sound quality at a smaller file size. ATTENTION! Some mp3 decoders and players crash or incorrectly decode VBR mp3 files. For more information please read THIS!
