I encode at 192kbps. Like Tony, I feel 128 is too much like FM radio
quality. I have no plans to go back and re-rip all this stuff, and the
sound quality between 192 and 256 is so small, versus the increase in space
it takes, its just not worth it. where as 128 is slightly less than 1meg a
minute, 192 is slightly more than 1 meg a minute. 256 is almost a
2meg-1minute ratio and thats not really worth it to me.
