The encoding process involves compression, MP3 is a lossy compression and you have to
make some comprimise between filesize and quality. Higher bitrates and vbr will give
you larger files and better quality, lower bitrates will give you smaller files with
less quality (my use of "quality" is in reference to how close the compressed file
sounds to the original)
Depending on the equipment you intend to use for listening and how good your ears are,
you may have to jack the bitrates up pretty high and live with larger file sizes.
If you are archiving rips to burn to CD later and you want the highest quality, either
encode at something like 320kbps or use a lossless codec. (ask me off-list for links)
You will have big files, but great quality.
