OGG Vorbis Files are _NOT_ inherently VBR. They can be encoded as CBR aswell. (doesn't make much sense but they can be encoded as CBR)
I'd like some guidance on whether to choose variable bit rate when copying music to my MP3 player. What are the plusses and minusses?
I was thinking about if vbr makes harder or even imposible to detect or recover file errors? If I change one bit in a cbr coded audio/video file then there happens nothing except maybe some glitches, but what if it happens in a vbr ecoded?
Information on the quality settings for variable bit rate would be helpful too. My understanding is that a quality setting of VB_0 is higher than VB_9, but I have no clue why that is.
