I've never seen any evidence to suggest that encoding at too high a bit
rate can result in unwanted artifacts though I do understand that to
broadcast in high bit rate is obviously more challenging in terms of
available bandwidth and so this may be a consideration.
As to the question in general, it's a no-brainer really. Variable bit rate
is going to yield the best results at the smallest file size possible.

Subject: Pros and cons of varible bit rate
The subject is a question, not a statement. I have been uploading Main
Menu archives as a 128KBPS MP3 file. I see that many people recommend
192KBPS, but there a parts of the show that really don't need that high a
bit rate. In fact, I have also read that encoding at too high a bit rate
can cause unwanted artifacts just as much as encoding at too low a bit
rate. Variable bit rate seems a good choice for me to use, but I would
like some thoughts from audio experts. Thanks.
