    Hey, quick question: what is the "minimum" quality an mp3 should be for burning? Obviously, more quality is better, but will 128 kbps do, or is 192 kbps recommended?

    (I am using Kazaa, and the maximum quality an mp3 can be is 128 kbps - i'm just checking to make sure that's ok for burning...)

    Thanks a bunch!

    128kbps is pretty low and you definitely should not go below that. Results with 128kbps depend on the encoder used and the music material itself. I personally never do below 192kbps when downloading (I try to find 256kpbs if possible)and always use LAME VBR presets if I encode MP3s my self.
