Memory and Audio Quality The amount of memory available and the quality of the MP3 file are related. The higher the quality required, the higher the bitrate needed. This leads to more data storage and memory requirements. The amount of memory required in your Creative TravelSound MP3 player is proportionate to the audio playback time. We recommend that you set your encoding bitrate at 128 Kbps (see Figure D-1) for optimal quality when you create MP3 files from audio CDs.
