      I transcoded some WAV files to AAC with the bitrate slider all the way up to 320kbps, but the resulting files had a bitrate of only 128kbps. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

        @econnolly I have the same problem on Linux, using the OpenSuse Tumbleweed OS. The transcoder bitrate does not change from the default, in my case 114kbps.
        There are alternatives which do variable bit rate, and support bitrates up to 320kbps, though it would be good to have the choice of better bitrates in Strawberry. I aim to use 160Kbps for playing on my iPod nano.
