Anyone else have problems with variable bitrate mp3s?
It seems like all mp3 players have trouble reading the length of the mp3 as well as trying to scroll backwards or fowards through a track. At least my winamp and ipod have trouble. Has anyone taken notice of this?

some mp3 players will not be able to read the information properly but will still play them correctly

You can use vbrfix to repair the files with those problems, but it doesn't happen if you encode with lame.

excellent.
now we can discuss what everyone prefers, Constant or Variable bitrate...

For ordinary listening, it makes no sense to use CBR.
VBR encoding was in various states of brokenness until LAME came along ... but that's all been sorted years ago.
The only good application for CBR is when you're trying to stream over a fixed-bandwidth link and have to know exactly how much data you're pumping. And even then ABR might give you better quality under the same bandwidth constraints.
viva VBR!
