Quality -V- Quantity?

So... with everyone have Zens, iPod's, Archos things... which do you prefer: lots of songs, or fewer songs with better quality? Me, I like them to sound very good, so I rip them at 320kbps, but uh, used to rip them at 128kbps, and I think its a big difference. What do you think? Oh, and people/mods, this about music you…

Anyway John I see your point but really the thread is about what quality you rip at, you were the only one who took it in a different direction.

Yeah and I'm sorry for acting jerky earlier. Been grumpy all week as I'm sick as a very sick thing. Apologies for the thread de-rail. *exits to the left*

Most MP3 players have crappy filters and horrible EQs so you'd probably be better off ripping to 128

My Sony MP3 walkman has excellent converters, thank you very much, and my filters/EQ and all that malarkey are always set to flat or off

320 if you intend to play it out of speakers or whatever but for just listening to on IPod, esp with the bud phones, 192 is fine IMO
