The average of these rates is then calculated to produce an average bit rate for the entire file that represents the overall sound quality. Some of our content is encoded using a constant bit rate of 256 kbps. This content will have the same excellent audio quality at a slightly larger file size.


Still MP3, but at least they make an effort to do what they can
Since I have hearing loss in the higher pitch areas, as long as I can still hear it, I'm happy!!!

To get music to a level that I can truly enjoy it, I need much more highs from multiple tweeters, as well as a deep, pounding bass. The stereo in the Tahoe isn't enough, but it works for me.

I really wish I would have used hearing PPE when I started off in this trade 26 years ago...
