decoder. Said another way, the Bit Rate is the number of bits that is
consumed by one second of audio. An MP3 file encoded at
128 kbps is generally considered to be close to CD quality, and
should be quite suitable for all MP3 music played by your
JX-MP256FM. The following table helps to put things in perspective
when downloading or creating your own MP3s.
