I have found that Lame 3.90.3 can create 32-bit mp3 files. Why does this occur (and what exactly are the advantages of this)?
And if those files were better, is it possible to make 32-bit mp3s with Lame 3.96.1?
If it is, how?
Many thanks.
(edit: spelling and grammar)

MP3 files have no such thing as a bit depth. Any MP3 file can be considered to be a "32 bit file" (or more).

I don't understand... What about dynamic range?

Handled via scalefactors...I don't know MP3 well enough, but for example for AAC this is (if I didn't miscalculate) about 384dB.
Or about "64-bit" (though imho it makes no sense to use this term). It makes more sense to say the "bit depth" is variable per frequency, in any case.
