Rip ... rip ... ripping away ... I assume 128kbps is the right sample speed?

---

It really depends who you ask. Personally, I regret having ripped my music at 128kbps, and have lately been ripping the new one at 160kbps variable... (high-quality variable in some programs...) - I think there is a difference between these two - as the 128kbps sounds like it's coming out of a tin-can for me.. You might want to rip your lesser cd's at 128, and your better cd's at 160 variable...
