Great. Absolutely great. I can't tell the difference between any of the damn files! Admittedly my Altec Lanseng speakers are probably not doing the MP3s justice, but I don't have a cable long enough to stretch from the PC to my Marantz setup, my DVD player won't read CDRs so I can't convert to WAVs and see that way ...

I suppose I could run a cable from the headphone output from the laptop into the preamp....

I think I'll leave what I have already as 128 and rip the remaining at VBR 70% or so which according to MusicMatch help is comparable to 160. Worst comes to the worst, it stinks, and I have to do it all again, right?!
