    I personally think 256kbps or even 192kbps is good. But it depends on your output (speakers, headphones) and more importantly your ears. Some people don't mind 92kbps while others won't settle for anything less than vinyl (usually people with $30k+ wrapped up in their setups...)

    In short--its entirely up to you!

    I had a Vorbis listening party this past Summer at my home.

    But no one came.
