Constant bit rate (CBR)
A type of encoding that maintains a fixed bit rate throughout a file, so that data is sent in a steady stream. Because more complex passages may be encoded with fewer than necessary bits, and relatively simple passages may be encoded with more bits than are necessary, CBR can potentially result in lower-quality sound.
