I use WinAmp Pro to rip my CDs to MP3s. It has a prest built in called "--alt-preset standard". It uses VBR and I set the lowest to 128 and the highest to 320 (so I voted for 256). There is also a setting for 'VBR Q' with a number from 0-9. I have that set on 2. I have no clue what it is for nor do I care because my mp3s sound great. I used to use 128 for everything but now that I started listening to it this way I can't go back. It looks like (this is NOT scietifically derived)my files are about 1 mb bigger for every 4 mbs (if that makes sense). So a 4 mb file at 128 is now, on average, a 5 mb file. Some a little larger and some a little smaller than the 1 mb difference depending on the quiet spots in the song.

Also, this (Link to EQ thread is making a world of difference! No more software EQ for me!

Rambling now, I'm done... :hide:
