no.
assuming you want good audio quality, lame -V4 --vbr-new should be quite decent for your mobile purposes. it's what i use. 128 cbr is definately abx-able, with noticable artifacts etc. of course, this is all dependant on your earphones, and what type of environment you are in and how much ambient noise there is.
take a look at
http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/...howtopic=28124 for lame settings.
you should only transcode (mp3->mp3 reencoding) if coming from a high quality source (i'd personally do 320cbr to v4, but i'd keep it at APS if i had them already ripped)
personally, i prefer lame over ogg just because i can share with friends over wifi if the need be arise, but ogg might suit you better if you don't share too much.
i also recommend you to take a look at
