Audio Sample Rate (kHz) This rate is the number of times per second the original waveform is translated into digital
form. A higher sample rate results in a more accurate digital representation of the sound. The sample rate for CD-
quality audio is 44,100 samples per second.
Bitrate (Kbps) This rate is the number of bits a digital file uses in a specific time period, usually expressed as kilobits
per second. The higher the bit rate at which an audio file is encoded, the higher the sound quality; 128 Kbps is a
commonly used rate.
