hate9wicket	Date: March 2, 2006 @ 12:38 AM Yeah, I had my stuff at 160 , but if you go into the steps ursabear put up, I would use 192, but this would create problems for dial up users, the compromise would be 128.

Generally, Lame and Frauenhofer are considered better codecs then blade and xing (a subjective opinion but this was the consensus after trawling through a couple dozen web pages who ran tests) - I usually prefer Lame as it is open source but Frauenhofer's encoder is used in Cubase SX/Nuendo (among many other apps such as Nero etc) and although I could use Wavelab, CDEX and CD Tag (Lame codec), if I'm working on a project in my DAW I usually go with that what is there in the export audio (frauenhofer).
