AAL2 through AAL4 are used for variable bitrate (VBR) services, and AAL5 for data. Source: Internet

A more sophisticated MP3 encoder can produce variable bitrate audio. Source: Internet

Average bitrate is a type of VBR implemented as a compromise between the two: the bitrate is allowed to vary for more consistent quality, but is controlled to remain near an average value chosen by the user, for predictable file sizes. Source: Internet

Early on bitrate was the prime and only consideration. Source: Internet

Files encoded with a given quality setting should have the same quality of sound in all versions of the encoder, but newer versions should be able to achieve that quality with a lower bitrate. Source: Internet

For purposes of comparison, CDs are encoded at 1411.2 kbit/s, and lossless encoders can encode most CDs below 1000 kbit/s, with significant bitrate reduction for easier-to-encode content such as voice. Source: Internet
