‘;CS’About Bit Rates

In OpenMG Jukebox, the bit rate for recording an audio CD can be chosen from 132 kbps/lO5 kbps/66 kbps The sound quality and available recording time after the conversion will be different depending on the selected bit rate A Higher value makes the sound quality better, but the size of the recorded data will be bigger thus shortening the total check-out time available on your digital music player

Likewise, a lower value means less sound quality, but lengthens the total check-out time available on your digital music player

Bit rate

Indicates the data amount per second The rate is reflected in bps (bit per second) In OpenMG

Jukebox, the bit rate for recording an audio CD or converting MP3 and WAV format audio files into ATRACJ of information format can be chosen per second from 132 kbps/105kbps/66kbps

If the bit rate is large, that means

105 kbps a large amount means of information

105000 bits used to play music Comparing music of the same format, a 105 kbps data offers better sound quality than 66 kbps data, and 132 kbps data offers better sound quality than 105 kbps data is

However, audio files in formats such as MI’3 have different encoding methods, and thus sound quality cannot be determined by simply comparing the bit rate
