ilo it er econd When talking about MP3´s the kbps in which it was encoded are of great interest. The scale of kpbs in which MP3 files are compressed rage from 8kbps to 256kbps. The standard encoding depth for music in the Internet today is 128kbps - one minute of music is just about one Mb big. 8kbps are used for cellular phone speech (thus the poor quality :), 24kbps are enough to understand radio plays (eg. shoutcast) and 256kbps is said to be Minidisc quality. Some people say the quality of 128kbps MP3´s is still too poor for music - they use 160 kbps or even 192kbps for encoding.

Kbps equals one thousand bits per second, and is a measure of bandwidth. Modem speeds are measured by the amount of bits it can transfer in one second, and kbps is now the standard.
