> 320 kbps is the minimum for acceptable sound in my experience. 

Fraunhofer institute has repeatedly lined up audiophile experts, and
they've never been able to reliably tell the difference between 320k
and 256k MP3 encoding. It's all due to psychoacoustics. The algorithms
are tricky, and the linearity one would intuitively expect isn't really
there.

Differences between 256k and well recorded CDs are slight, however they
are audible, as stated in other threads. I'd be curious to test out
FLAC, and shall do so.
