audio streaming - android mp3 bitrate increase if remove ID3 tags -

if remove id3 tags mp3 file e.g. embedded image, meta info , seek stream mp3 on internet, bit rate of mp3 increase?

i asking because, have network constraints project i'm working on , need increment bit rate , file size of mp3.

no, bitrate determined @ encoding time , doesn't change. it's measurement of how much info used encode shape of sound wave. removing metadata file doesn't add together info sound wave.

removing metadata (slightly) cut down size of file , amount of network bandwidth needed stream it. think usual meaning of "bitrate" relates sound stream, not entire file (audio plus metadata).
