Understanding Audio Bitrates
What is Bitrate?
Bitrate is the amount of data processed per second in audio files, measured in kilobits per second (kbps). Higher bitrate means more data per second, which generally results in higher audio quality and larger file sizes.

- ✓ Better audio quality
- ✓ Larger file size
- ✓ More detail preserved
- ✓ Better for audiophiles
Lower Bitrate (128kbps)
- ✓ Smaller file size
- ✗ Lower audio quality
- ✗ Less detail
- ✓ Good for storage limits
