Describes an encoded audio representation that, while allowing variations in bit rate from frame to frame, maintains a specific average bit rate over a long time interval (typically between 10 and 60 seconds). You can use ABR-savvy encoders to fit a recording into a predetermined file size. Compare constant bit rate, variable bit rate.
