Question

When ripping a music CD to MP3 does it do any good to rip at 256 kbps instead of 192 kbps?

Answer 1

kbps stands for kilobytes per second or somethnig like that....so 256 kbps means 256 kilobytes per second which means its a faster download than 192 kbps. It really doesnt matter unless you want the download faster

Answer 2

Well, yes, 256kbps is higher quality so the sound will be clearer and louder. The trade off for this is a bigger file size. Personally, I always use 192kbps which I think is a good balance of file size and quality. I don't notice any major difference with the sound quality anyway.
