Why do files that have low bit rates play poorly on my Digital Audio Receiver?
Low bit rates (16-24 KB) are not recommended for encoding music to be played on the Digital Audio Receiver because in order to encode the music so low, much of the music data is lost to the encoded file. For example: If a song has 16 levels of information available in a 128-KB file, it will only have 1 or 2 of those same levels in a 16-24 KB file. Therefore the sound quality is poorer.
