I saw this neat comparison on the web quuite recently. It had audiogrammes that showed just how much was missing. As far as I could see MP3 won the contest.
Personally I use 192kbs MP3 since I cannot tell the difference between that and a CD.
128kbs though has poor base and no treble.
The encoder has a lot to say! Xing encoder is blazing fast but cannot compete with LAME in quality.
