    I think 90% = or > @ 192kb but same as Chewie UK at the moment everything is @ 320

    i'm trying to replace everything i have that's lower as 192kb.

    yea i try to replace some too. I have done an ABX test and listened to a FLAC version and MP3 320kbps and i couldnt tell the difference. I was too lazy to check anything under becuase most of mine are 320 anyway.

    The only lossless i have is all albums from Metallica. I wanted to get it that way becuase it sounds great on high volume and so clear.

    90% 256 VBR, the rest is mostly 160/192, maybe a double-handful at 128.

    I couldn't find Merle's Boogie any higher than that.

    I've got pretty good ears, and I've got to listen real close to even think I can tell the difference between my MP3's and WAV.

    Don't know from lossless, though.

    I can rig my EAC or Audiograbber to do that, can't I?

    128 you can still notice a drop in audio quality if you listened carefully, but you can barely notice a difference b/w a 192kb/s mp3 and a full quality CD.
