64 kbps VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is WAY better sounding than its CBr (Constant Bit Rate) counterpart. You audiophiles already know this; I just did some research myself after reading the back and forth in the comments.

This guy writes about it well and seems to have plenty of expertise: http://www.digitalprosound.com/Htm/WebAudio/2000/Oct/MP3bitrates2.htm />
There are also several forums about the difference on the Internet Archive.

The Mockingbird Foundation

The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.

And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
