Encoding is the second phase of making an MP3 file. Encoders are used to
convert the stored audio tracks, usually WAV files, into MP3 files. MP3
encoding is considered lossy compression, which means that some data is
lost during compression. However, using the standard sampling rate and
bitrates will ensure that your MP3 files retain much of their audio quality. The
standard bitrate of most MP3 files is 128 Kbps, although some are set
higher, at 160 or 192 Kbps. Higher bitrates will result in larger MP3 file sizes,
with better audio quality. Use Creative MediaSource Organizer to extract
audio tracks and encode MP3s.
