I too prefer 192 kb/s as a minimum. For favourites even better, if
available. My hearing is not the best, but I perceive some
difference between 128 and 192 kb/s. And those few MB-s extra
are not a problem ( although I don't use iPod or such, only PC
hard drive. ) Blank CD-s are cheap too, so better quality is
worth it, if you are collecting music. Just my 2 cents...

Cheers, Csaba
