Recording MP3 (1 Viewer)

[Darren Lewis]

I want to create some MP3s on my PC from my original CDs. I don't have a CD player in the study, and I like the convenience of having MP3 playing in the background. At the moment I'm using Real JukeBox Plus, and creating at 128Kbps.
Is this a good rate, or would one of the higher rates be better. I've got a 10Gb partition on my HD allocated for multimedia (including some well know film trailer downloads

) Is RJB+ OK for creating MP3s or is there better software.
Thanks.
Not sure if I should post this in the music area, but it's to do with PCs - oh well it can be moved if necessary.

If you want the best sounding MP3s, use Lame with a variable bitrate.
You can get all the info at this link so there's little point in me going through it:
