I have ripped a CD to mp3 using the following settings
Variable bitrate - Min 128 - Max 192
Quality = Highest (0) - Channels Sterio
Ticked to Include CRC to detect errors.
On checking the resulting mp3 files saved to a folder
some show 7 to 1 compression (13%) Variable 191 kbps
and others show 44 to 1 (2%) Bitrate 32 kbps
although the resulting 32kbps files are larger than expected
1 tune taken at random showing 44 to 1 is 3397kb, when the same tune previously saved to hard drive for my player shows 153 kbps variable (9 to 1) and is only 2696 kb
Obviously I am obtaining better quality than a fixed 32 kbps file, but shouldn't the settings shown above not allow the variable to go below 128 kbps.
Variable set rate not always conforming
