I just got into trading music and have noticed that all the tracks on every cd I have recieved is playing at 128kps. Most of the music I have is VBR mp3 files and range from 130-320 kbs. I was wondering to burn a cd with every track playing at 128kbs.
That makes no sense. CD tracks do not have a "bitrate", unless you count the uncompressed 1411kbps of their streaming PCM audio.
Sorry im new to all this. How would you go about burning a cd without lossing much. I am starting with VBR mp3 files

First of all, what do you want to burn actually? An Audio-CD or a CD full of MP3 files?
For the former, there is no such thing as losing quality, as an Audio-CD is merely a decode of MP3. And there is no such thing as a bitrate, as all Audio-CD's are manufactured/burnt at 1411kbps.
For the latter... why use CBR? VBR provides better quality. Furthermore, transcoding from VBR to CBR will cause quality degradation. So, just burn the files as-is to the CD.
