Supported MP3/WMA File Formats

~1min read

When using the MP3/WMA encoder to compress audio data to an MP3/WMA file, the bit rate and sampling frequencies in the following table are supported. In addition, variable bit rates (VBR) are also supported. The majority of MP3/WMAfiles use a 44.1 kHz sampling rate and a 192, 160, 128, 96 or VBR bit rates.
