Rendering Mp3 at Bitrate 450kbps???

After I'm done making a beat I render it at a Bitrate 192 kbps.

I was wondering would there be much difference if I render it at Bitrate 450 kbps???

Would you recommend rendering at 450? And why???
 
really? what do you use to do the encoding??

every technical document I can find says maximum possible bitrate for an MPEG Audio Layer III (MP3) file is 320kbps

https://www.apple.com/au/ipod-shuffle/specs.html

http://www.mp3-tech.org/programmer/docs/mp3_theory.pdf section 4.4 says "The Layer III standard defines bitrates from 8 kbit/s up to 320 kbit/s,"

even wikipedia does not break with this but simply states all possible bitrates up to 320kbps MP3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

it does add this proviso at the end of the section "Non-standard bit rates up to 640 kbit/s can be achieved with the LAME encoder and the freeformat option, although few MP3 players can play those files. According to the ISO standard, decoders are only required to be able to decode streams up to 320 kbit/s." I would caution that using any bitrate above 320kbps for a layer III audio file is not advisable as it may not play back properly on all systems

I did find a reference to 384kbps in this one MP3 File Format Specification but it is directly related to the layer II codec

If I remember it right, the OP uses FL.

Personally I think it's a little confusing, but you can select 4 different filetypes to export to: WAV, MP3, OGG, and MIDI.
Below that, there's a slider where you increase/decrease the bitrate - and it applies to both MP3 and OGG (this is what confuses me).
Now I'm no expert in OGG, but I'm pretty sure that 450 kb/s is ment for OGG-files.

However, I'd never use 450 kb/s on an MP3 anyway.

Yea wat KoinKassVang said

When I render a Mp3 it is usually at MP3/OGG Bitrate 192 kbps but in Fl Studio 10 you can render it at MP3/OGG 450 kbps
 
so simply put OGG is not MP3

any bitrate used for ogg needs to be considered as follows
- less than 320kbps is possible for mp3 as well
- anything higher should be considered to be impossible as an mp3 format
 
The magic of Google solved this in about 5 seconds, this is from the FL help file:

The maximum bit-rate for mp3 is 320 kbps and 450 kbps for ogg. This means if you set the slider to 450 kbps, mp3 files will still render at 320 kbps while ogg files will render at 450 kbps.
