Michael,

I didn't test VBR in my listening tests, but I can set LAME to default to 192 w/VBR. As mentioned earlier, 256 w/VBR isn't an option for my setup of EAC/LAME.

Is there a potential sonic advantage for using 192 w/VBR versus straight 256? I'm guessing that the advantage is that the 192vbr option takes up less space, possibly, without a sonic penalty. Is that the idea?

Thanks.
