From what I understand ABR doesn't run the risk of overcompression like VBR does and it doesn't run th risk of undercompression like CBR does. My quote from mp3dev makes me think that a VBR can actually sound worse than ABR if LAME isn't set up correctly.
Does CBR really have better stereo separation, even in stereo mode?
Thanks schmooky, btw, Delerium - Silence is awesome.
