    FLAC bitrate and MediaMonkey

    Just finished after 5 months of ripping my CD collection to FLAC using dbpoweramp and now have 750Gb of files that I use MediaMonkey to play through a Benchmark DAC PRE. Well worth the effort as sound quality is as good as from my Resolution Audio Opus 21 CD player with the main benefits of having playlists and shuffle etc. I can highly reccommend this solution to any audiophiles out there.

    When I rip to FLAC the bitrate tag in dbp Edit ID-Tag on the file indicates 1411kbs (CD Redbook) but when I play them with MediaMonkey all files have a differing bitrate, seldom over 1000kbs and sometimes as low as 300kbs.

    My question is which is right?

    Regards Goberre.

    1411 is the uncompressed bitrate (cd audio bitrate)

    the bitrate that mediamonkey displays is the compressed bitrate.

    so, the close to 1411 the bitrate shows in MM, the less compressed the file is, probly do due music complexity/etc.

      We always show uncompressed bitrate for lossless formats.
