What does the "Highest BPS mode supported" encoder setting mean, and what should i set it to when encoding my MP3s, Oggs, AACs and Musepack files?

And what "decoder" setting should i use to decode my files (to be burned to audio CDs)?

Two years old, I know, but I wouldn't mind an answer to this myself.

It means what is the highest bits-per-sample mode supported by given encoder. Oggenc accepts floating point data, mppenc 32bit data, lame 32bit data, I dunno about AAC.

Decode to WAV (PCM, fixed-point), audio CDs contain 44100Hz 16bit stereo audio.

Okay, that's what I thought... but odd that some Nero frontends seem to accept values other than 16, and NeroAACWrapper only supports 16. I guess it really doesn't matter to me anyways. I'm only dealing with CD audio.

Thanks rutra80
