Anything higher than 128 kbps is a waste of space on my harddrive. To me there's hardly any difference with a song that has higher bitrates. Now if I had a harddrive that could store a lot, yes I wouldn't mind that extra space, but I'm running on a 70 GB harddrive here and I'm not the only one in my family who uses this computer.

128 kbps is perfect IMO. 96 kbps is fine, too, there's pretty much no difference.
