Perhaps we can move it to the users list, if it goes on...

I can't really comment on the quality difference that experts might hear, but
for me mp3 at 128 kbps is ok. I can use our package system for all needed
products: 
  - Ripping: tosha
  - Encoding: bladeenc
  - Playing: mpg123 and/or gqmpeg (which uses mpg123) You can even use Winamp
             skins for gqmpeg according to the manual. I haven't tried that yet.

Bye, Bjoern
