vbr stands for Variable Bit Rate. Thus the bit rate is not constant. VBR is usually associated with video files, not audio.

Then why I get it in audio mode? So to choose between mp3 or vbr?

vbr files

It's not just video thats vbr.. I have quite a few mp3's that are vbr encoded. I have an mp3 entitled Marilyn Manson - Sweetdreams.MP3 and its vbr encoded. It goes up and down on some weird bit rates. Numbers change constatly and I actualy found out that audio doesnt sound as good with the vrb files as the regular MPEG-2 or 3 encoded files...

Any MPEG layer can be encoded variable - but the audio layers 'shouldn't be'. It will save some space, but using a variable bit rate can cause some players to do exactly as mystvearn has experienced.
