G'day to one an all, Whats this bitrate business all about man i'm confused.

bit rate tells you how much data per second is used to give you the content, mostly higher bit-rate is better quality music, lower bit-rate is mostly lesser quality music.

you should aim for a bitrate of 192kbit/s this is good quality, average filesize, most used bitrate out there

although i prefer 320kbit/s for freshly ripped music.
music ripped at 192kbit/s is good enough tho, and doesn't make a 4min mp3 10megs

Bitrate is the quality of a file. The higher the better, but the bigger the file so the longer the download time.

Personally I find 128 stereo adequate for some of the old rubish I listen to. !92 is generally accepted as the minimum for high quality, and anything over that should be excellent. Of course it doesn't always work like that but it does in general.

BTW please do not double post questions. You can delete your other post by selecting edit.

didn't i explain any of that in the post i made lol?

192kbit is best in my opinion, since it has best of both worlds, good quality, not too big a file

but as i said, i prefer 320kbit when i rip myself for personal use only

I just type slower
