I used variable bitrate encoding for quite some time (Through Audio Catalyst). The range of the bitrate was from 96-160, usally sitting around 128. I could tell the difference between that and CD Quality. I recently changed to encoding everything into 256 kbps and now cannot tell the difference. There seems to be a, how do I describe it, a 'wideness' of sound with 256 that 128 does not have.
