The era of "320kbps or bust" is evolving. For the modern music lover, a represents a more sophisticated understanding of digital audio. It offers the perfect marriage of efficiency and high-fidelity performance.
Always encode from a "lossless" source like FLAC or physical CDs. Converting a low-quality YouTube rip to 320kbps will not improve the sound; it will only create a larger file of a poor recording.
While "320kbps" usually refers to a Constant Bitrate (CBR) where every second of audio uses exactly 320,000 bits, VBR (Variable Bitrate) adjusts the data usage based on complexity. Variable Bitrate (VBR):
