Did a search and no luck:
WL8.0 export a five minute wave file to mp3 vbr results in a file that in various Windows 10 audio players (Groove and Media Player) indicate the file while playing back is over twenty-eight minutes in time/length. The file plays back ok.
Does anyone know the cause of this issue? On my system this is not a new problem but I’ve ignored it in the past however sending the files to others causes alarm.
VBR only sounds better compared to lower bitrate CBR MP3s. If you use 320 kbps CBR you have constant highest ‘quality’ - but indeed also a relatively big file.
