What is VBR?
It is short for “Variable bit rate”. Some MP3 encoder support this. If there are very complex parts in a song it will use a quite high bit rate and e.g. on silence or easy parts it will use a lower bit rate. So usually the average bit rate will be not as high as the bit rate of an MP3 of the same quality with constant bit rate. When MAC lists my MP3’s, some of the songs have an incorrect time. Depending on how the MP3 files were encoded, this can happen. If they were encoded incorrectly or by using a software application that does not perform this task properly, the internal track time in the MP3 file may be incorrect. I have installed MAC and I do not know why I can not search for files, the command “Search” appears in gray. At first you should add a volume to the database (“Edit” -> “Add volume”), then you can search for MP3’s in your database. MAC does not play any of my MP3’s, it seems not to load my default MP3 player. MP3 files must be linked with a player. You can test it: just
