inconsistent Bitrates

[shane0168]

What is the bug ?

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
Steps to reproduce the behavior or describe the expected behavior:
I'm getting inconsistent bitrates on downloads. I'm looking for 320. The quality still is great. I just feel like something is going wrong with my setup.

I don't think this is a bug. 320 kbps is the maximum bitrate, and some sections in songs simply don't contain enough date to use the entire 320 kbps. Variation is natural, and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your setup.

Hi, im new with Spytify, thame thing.
Hi see that MP3 is in VBR encoder
Can set to CBR 320?

using ABR https://github.com/Corey-M/NAudio.Lame/blob/master/LameDLLWrap/LAMEPreset.cs
this is normal behaviour

@jwallet Would it be possible to add an option to conoltr whether ABR, VBR or CBR is used? Different people have different preferences and I would personally prefer CBR.

I will reopen it since many people on reddit have an issue with that, but I think it's useless. It goes up to 320kbps but when there are silence they are no data so it's normal to have less that the maximum, unless you record a constant song. So it will now always reach the set bitrate because silence will be recorded. just know they won't be better quality because you see a higher final bitrate.

Hi, Im DJ, the standar today is 320 CBR o FLAC, VBR may produce error in Dj software, in time remain for example, and its more slow to process

This is really just a post processing issue, I agree that it's useless because ultimately users can just record full quality wav files and produce a mp3 or other format themselves. This isn't an audio processing app, it is just a recorder so I believe these features are out of scope.

@jwallet would appreciate this, it is not useless for a number of use cases. One big one is the latest Pioneer XDJ-RR actually seems to be having issues with VBR.

@supsm Recording in WAV does not allow attaching of metadata, this creates an abysmal workflow.

Hi, what about set mp3 encder in CBR? or Flac, flac support artwork and ID Tags El lun, 22 de abr. de 2024 16:25, Denis Ivanov ***@***.***> escribió:
