Guest Adam Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 It's soulseek dude. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/57142-can-someone-explain-something-to-me/#findComment-1349935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Enter a new display name Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) Soulseek doesn't always quantize the bitrate accurately, that's not really your fault. If it's about downloading from other users, what you can do is compare the track's duration (according to discogs.com for example) to the file's size, so you can judge if the audio quality is good enough for you. Edit: Chassis is wrong, it occurs with both CBR and VBR formats.

Guest Ricky Downtown Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 maybe soulseek gets track times by dividing the file size by the bit rate, and it's getting incorrect bitrates for some reason.
