From what I understand, VBR (variable bitrate) uses some kind of algorithm
to adjust the bitrate according to what is going on in the file..IE, near
silence will require less than would would be used at a constant bitrate.
However, I have spoken to a few people I would consider a bit more serious
about audio than I am, and they are really not fans of VBR at all. I can
sort of see why. You're basically depending on this algorithm to decide how
much of the sound you really want represented. It's a trust thing and I'm
not sure I'd be willing to go that far. It can save you some disk space
though, I guess....

Could I have just a quick explanation of the advantages/disadvantages
please.
