Basically, what that says is that after a V2, V0, and 320 CBR mp3 are uploaded, no other mp3 rips of the same album are allowed. Which is a good rule, because CBR rips are pretty much useless. They use a lot more space relative to quality when compared to VBR encodes.

Also, one of my FLAC torrents on What just went freeleech/staff pick, whoamg.

EDIT: V0 is about 256, V2 is an average of 192 or so.

What the hell is is CBR?

^^^

and VBR is variable bit rate. it varies depending on the quality necessary throughout the track. so the parts that need it get the maximum bitrate, but silence gets encoded at the lowest possible bitrate. much more efficient.

plus, VBR encodes generally mean the CD was ripped using EAC, so it's much more likely to be a good rip.
