Encoders are used to convert the stored audio tracks, usually WAV files, into MP3 files. MP3 encoding is a lossy compression methodology where some data is considered inaudible and is removed before encoding. 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. See the Creative MediaSource Organizer online Help for more information.
