MP 3 sound is limited to a specific bit rate. 

But if the sound for a particular bit is too complicated to describe the

compression routine will look to add that 'overage' detail later on in

future bits where the sound is less complicated. 


Fast: allows the shortest distance that sound overages can be stored. 

This is the setting you should use for normal web use since the complete

sound will be available sooner.


Medium: For CDs etc.


Best: for very fast connections or when all the sound is preloaded or

already in memory or on a hard drive. This allows sound overages to be

widely spaced from its original component for maximum utilization of all

the bits that can be sent at the set bitrate speed.
