Historical is the reason for presentation. I think more useful when MP3 bit rate limited was in use. When a stream is compressed, associated bit rates figures are usually not accurate typically average or a target max bit rate.. When you stream an internet stream which saying 48kbps or 128kbps - it is not accurate it is probably a maximum. Only streaming PCM will have a constant accurate bit rate. The 704kbps is probably estimated by taking the duration of a segment and segment size after resampling and recompression. Estimation may only be done once (need to look at code to be sure). Real data rate would vary continuously if say music varied between between silence and a major orchestral crescendo . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114423 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
