Hello,
I wish to convert wav files to MP3 in the most "lossless" encoding, but I wonder about setting the mimimal bit rate
Therefore I put in the encoder options
Encoding mode : joint
CBR: checked
VBR
Quality : 0(highest)
max. bit rate : 320 Kbps
Now, the mimimal bit rate can be set as low as 32Kbps or as high as on wish.
After some test with the same input wav file, I wonder about the true loss of setting the min bit rate to a low number such as 32 Kbps or a high one as 224Kpbs in the terms of true hearable quality difference. Indeed, if there is a moment of near silence, when setting a min to 32Kbps or 224Kbps, files size will differ significantly, but not the experience.
So my question is what does Switch Sound File Converter really do ?
Is it really important to set a high min bit rate ???
Could a developper explain what
Thanks.
Phil
