Hello eveyone,

i've got a problem with foobar2000.
does anyone know why the bitrate is not constant if you convert several
ape/flac-tracks to mp3?
i chose MP3-LAME V4, 165kBit/s. but sometimes the botrate is 192, sometimes 160, sometimes 224.
it always varies. what do i have to do to make it constant?

thanks in advance, janice1423

Jam it back in, in the dark.

i just like constant bitrate!
"VBR stands for variable bit rate". i was not aware of that, sorry.

is it impossible to make the bitrate constant (with foobar2000)?

How ya doing, buddy?

thanks for all your responses

my question was: is it impossible to make the bitrate constant (with foobar2000)?
a simple "yes" would do. if the answer is "no" (if it IS possible) please explain me how to do it constant.

thx in advance

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Sure, you can use LAME in CBR (constant bitrate) mode and just select the bitrate.

I think what fb2k does is to let the user select sort of a "target bitrate". Of course such a thing doesn't really exist and is probably based on a bunch of selected encodes.

@Janice: So yes, it's possible. Read the LAME docs how to do it. Maybe fb2k doesn't expose the functionality, but LAME is completly capable of generating CBR encodes.
Keep in mind though that CBR rate is obsolete. If you wanna max out quality/filesize ratio then use VBR modes.
thank you
