[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 25421, member: 34"] Re: MP3 vs WAV Encoders have so many options you could spend weeks reading about them. Essentially, VBR adapts the bitrate to what is going on in the song at that particular time. Figure, higher frequency sounds need a higher bitrate to be reproduced properly, so on things like cymbal crashes the bitrate will be dynamically increased compared to the rest of the song. As a rule, if there is a selection for encoding quality, pick the absolutely highest one you can. The only thing it will cost you is CPU time, and the results will be far better. I also bet that iTunes doesn't offer all the AAC encoder options that it could, since the general population can probably barely handle what it offers as it is. [/QUOTE]
