Can someone check this is really inside the specs or even not specified in the specs?
I could imagine myself producing 192 vbr mp2s with the size of a cbr 160

Thanks

Correia,
i few months i had big problems trying mp2 vbr.
DSPGuru from d9 help me a lot but seems that
some player can use, anothers don't.
you need to test your player!

Hi Jorel,
I can't stop saying it's great seeing you around again

.
Fair enough in terms of mp2 vbr.
That should mean it's not inside the specs.
For a minute I was wondering if russian friend had found it in the specs.
Obviously I misunderstood.
Cheers mate

I tested VBR MP2 a while ago on my player, and it played it flawlessly. The problem is on the one hand that the audio size is unpredictable in VBR setting with Headache.

Another issue I think Phil pointed me on this one is that bitrate allocation in VBR MP2 mode is not very efficient. that might lead to the scenario that your VBR MP2 (varying between 96 and 192 kb/sec) could actually be of worse quality than CBR @128 or 112kb/sec...

That's exactly that. Great memory Jellygoose !
