Best bit-rate for MusicMatch MP3?


What have others found to be the best-sounding bit-rate for Musicmatch MP3?

Also, does it make an audible difference if you use a different MP3 decoder (e.g. Winamp with LAME) than what you used to encode (Musicmatch)?

Hi Ed:

Is it consensus that 192 kbps is, in general, the best sounding constant bit codec for MP3s? (I also use EAC for ripping CDs was WAVs. I am just looking for an MP3 format that sounds good on my computer speakers and other mid-fi equipment.)

P. S. - if you are not already aware, there is an excellent online guide to EAC at:
