Windows Explorer changes MP3s from VBR to CBR when editing tags Friday, October 30, 2009 at 12:31 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Daniel Klein (1 messages posted) I have edited a number of MP3 files with Windows Explorer to add album, etc. information to them but have found that afterwards the files have incorrectly been marked as CBR instead of VBR. This means that the average bit-rate is set to the rate of the first block in the file (usually 32kbps for my files). Most files also get reported as being a lot longer than they really are. Does anyone know: a) a way to stop Windows Explorer from doing this? b) how to fix the MP3 files?
