Ok, so I read the FAQ and learned a little something about VBR, which I knew nothing about before. Now I may be dense, so I just want to clarify. Is this a true statement: VBR ensures better audio quality than CBR and at reduced size. Is that right or did I not fully comprehend that section? It sounds to me like anytime I am doing my own ripping, encoding, etc, I should do so in VBR.

Finally, I'm using to encoding my files at 192 or 224 kbps. What percentage setting on VBR will give me a comparable audio quality?

Thanks for any/all help you can provide.
