Did you mean to convertkilobit/second
kilobyte/second
toKB/sMore information from the unit converterHow many kbps in 1 KB/s?The answer is 8.We assume you are converting between kilobit/second and kilobyte/second.You can view more details on each measurement unit:kbps orKB/sThe main non-SI unit for computer data rate is the bit/second.1 bit/second is equal to 0.001 kbps, or 0.000125 KB/s.Note that rounding errors may occur, so always check the results.Use this page to learn how to convert between kilobits/second and kilobytes/second.Type in your own numbers in the form to convert the units!
Bitrate is the rate at which you send bits to the streaming platform. It measures how much data of your audio and video information is transmitted in a given amount of time. Audio bitrate and video bitrate are commonly measured in kilobits per second (kbps) and megabits per second (Mbps). The higher the bitrate, the faster your internet connection when streaming video content online with video streaming software.
So if you want to stay as close a possible to the quality your file has now, you should chose a higher bitrate. 320kbps are probably wasted space, but for mp3 something in the order between 128 and 192 is needed to maintain - or at least come close to - the quality of a more efficient 95kbps file.
As an extreme case, suppose you have an uncompressed raw file with 16 bits per sample, stereo, at the sampling rate of 22 kHz. That amounts to 700 kbps. You encode it to MP3, high quality, 22 kHz, and get around, say, 64 kbps.
Suppose now we're doing the reverse, and want to encode a 64 kbps MP3 stream as RAW. Does it make sense to raise the data rate? You bet it does. If you did not - actually if you did not raise the data rate enough, and only went up to 350 kbps - the RAW format would allow for only half the sampling frequency. Or maybe only 8 bit per sample. Or maybe mono instead of stereo.
If you are being forced to change formats, and convert between lossy formats, this most probably happens because you need mp3 files; also, there are cases where the audio of the input video is not an mp3. So, for a video, if it's not mp3, it will be in most cases an aac file. In this situation the bitrate of the mp3 output should be higher (in order to compensate the more inefficient bitrate of the mp3): for a 95kbps aac, the resulting mp3 should have a bitrate of about 128-192 kbps, etc.
Because of that, HE-AAC allows you to go as low as 32 kbps for music and 16 kbps for speech, while maintaining an acceptable listening experience. The European Broadcast Union has released a review of the different codecs:
There are comparative tables to convert to a similar quality format, MP3 have many kind of libraries and configurations as OGG and ACC so it's depends, I was musician before and usually the highest sounds above 16 kHz are the key to recognize the quality, cymbals trumpets, high voices or instruments generally with many harmonics, I did many test before and with a normal lame MP3 of 192 kbps is enough, actually I can't difference between 192 and 224 kbps as many people, 192 kbps to 160 kbps is quite difficult is only for give you some ideas or perceptions, ACC usually is better quality than MP3, ACC 192 probably is more like MP3 256 kbps.
I am trying to convert files at 128 kbps low compression to at least 256 kbps to use on special sound/light equipment but am coming up empty handed. I try different formats but am not successful with this process. If you can help me with this that would be awesome. Thanks in advance.
As an example, I recently tried to convert Saba's Care For Me to ALAC and went from 900kbps FLAC files (at 48khz) to over 2000kbps ALAC files (even at just 44.1khz). I've tried adjusting every possible setting and just can't seem to get the ALAC bitrate down. Any ideas what the problem could be, and how I could get an ALAC file with a bitrate similar to the original FLAC? Thanks so much in advance!
Well, I guess I'll leave this post up in case anyone else is having the same problem, but it turns out I'm just dumb and didn't try changing the one setting that was causing the issue :D
For whatever reason, filtering it through the sample rate converter, even if it was set to the same sample rate as the original file, massively increased the bitrate. I took out the filter and all of a sudden I have 900kbps, 48khz ALAC files. Fascinating.
Hi, I've got a two part question, both most likely no-brainers, but I'm fairly new at this. I just downloaded the program because my first mp3 converter was no longer supported on my mac. Since I have yet to find any kind of instructions, A) how do I set the bit rate? I'm in the process of digitizing my CDs and want to make sure I retain the highest possible quality. B) When I copy the AIFF files on to my desktop and then convert them (as opposed to just importing them into itunes), does it do any good to set the rate for mp3s at 320 bits per second, or is 192 as good as it gets?
Also, I'm in Germany so the program is in German, not a problem but just in case in the response features are named in English, there's a chance I may have to guess what was meant. - Many thanks in advance!
Regarding your second question, for me personally, 192 kbps is enough to not be able to discern a difference to the original audio. so I don't usually go higher than that with MP3. However, I'd recommend converting your CDs to lossless FLAC or ALAC files in addition to MP3. That way you can always make new MP3s at different bitrates or switch to a different lossy codec if needed, without having to pull out the CDs again.
thanks so much for your response, the bit rate was already preset at 192 kbps. So you're saying if I convert a CD track with 320 kbps I wouldn't be able to hear any difference, therefore 192 is enough and any higher rate just unnecessarily increases the file size?
Basically yes, 192 kbps should be enough in most cases. I'd recommend you make your own listening experiments, though. Encode some MP3s at different bitrates ranging from maybe 160 to 320 kbps and listen to them. Then decide at what point it sounds transparent (i.e. indistiguishable from the original) to you and use that bitrate.
Result : It works for me. However the -qscale:a 5 makes FFmpeg decide on an average bitrate for you. With one (320k) MP3 file I got it giving a close convert of 134kbps. This is expected since :
Solution :
Instead of making the internal mp3 frames hold different bitrates (that vary to acommodate the "current" perceived audio, eg: think "silent" parts using smaller rate of bits/bytes compared to "busy" audio parts), so just set a constant bitrate of 128kbps as you need.
1,000 kbsp equal 1 mbps, where kbps stands for KiloBits per Second and mbps stands for MegaBits per Second. This follows from the definition of the bit, kilobit and megabit, in which a kilobit is 1,000 bits (103), a megabit is 1,000,000 bits (106) and so 1 mbit is exactly 1,000 kbits. Adding per second to both sides of the equation changes the units, but not the numbers.
The difference is only in the magnitude: a 1 mbps connection has 1,000 times more capacity than a 1 kbps connection. Network capacity, or bandwidth, is often called network speed or connection speed in common language, but that is technically incorrect. A network with a capacity of 1 kbps can transmit 1 kbits of data every second.
Both units are used for the same purpose, except one is appropriate where network capacity is low, e.g. a 2G mobile network with its 50 kbit/s (40 kbit/s in practice) capacity is easier written as kbps instead of 0.05 mbps. It also makes for better posters, banners and ad headlines. Mbps or mbit/s is used in most modern network definitions. For example, you probably have a 100 mbps LAN card on your computer or smartphone. Most internet connection plans offered by ISPs are also described in mbps, e.g. 25 mbps, 50 mbps, 75 mbps.
To convert from kbps to mbps you need to only divide by 1,000. This can most easily be done by shifting the decimal point 3 positions to the left. An example step by step calculation is shown below, as well as a kbit/s to mbit/s conversion table.

Anyway, I'm going to develop a simple website that users can upload their audio files and play others' files. I planed to use Node.js, and HTML5 built-in audio tag to play the files. I have never used the audio tag, so I wondered if the tag really works fine, so today I lightly wrote a simple code and played a mp3 file and I got a problem, which is that the mp3 file wasn't be played using the tag. I realized the audio tag cannot play audio files above bitrate 128kbps. so now, I need a way of auto-converting from more than 128kbps to 128kbps, in javascript(using Node.js).
