I use this string as the command line argument to LAME 3.97:
-V2 --vbr-new -q0 --lowpass 19
No idea where you'd put this in Winamp though.
This is what I use:
ripping: Exact Audio Copy (EAC). Accurate ripping pretty much guaranteed.
encoding (listening): LAME 3.97 with the above custom settings using
Razorlame or foobar 2000 as front-ends.
archival: FLAC. You don't lose any quality in respect to the source CD. You
can fit about 12 compressed albums onto a DVD-R. I use foobar 2000 as the
front-end but there are alternatives (Google). Monkey's Audio is an
alternative (and you get slightly better compression) but FLAC seems to be
more widely used.
