VBR
Adaptive audio compression
VBR stands for variable bit rate, an encoding method for audio and video that allocates more data to complex passages and less to simple ones.
A quiet moment in a song needs fewer bits than a dense orchestral crescendo.
VBR produces better quality at smaller file sizes than constant bit rate (CBR) encoding, though file sizes are less predictable: I encoded the podcast at VBR for better quality.
