MP3 files can be encoded as CBR (Constant Bit Rate) and VBR (Variable Bit Rate) as well, but the SpeechLive web player supports the playback of CBR-encoded MP3 files only, that is, playback is not fully supported with VBR-encoded files. For more information on CBR and VBR bit rates, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_bitrate.
