Variable Bitrate (VBR) encoding converts tracks at a variable rate, using higher bitrate encoding for complex
portions and lower bitrate encoding for pauses in songs.
WMA
Windows Media Audio (WMA) is a compressed audio format created by Microsoft as an alternative to MP3. The
WMA codec offers greater file compression than the MP3 codec, enabling storage of more digital audio tracks in the
same amount of space when compared to MP3s at the same level of quality.
