I have 6gig on my MP3 player so I can afford to covert CDs at 320 kbps. Most people use 128 I believe.
No expert on the subject though. I just used the highest available quality setting. Wether I'm getting that much better quality using the 320 Vs 128 I'm not qualified to say really.
<shrugs> sounds darn good to me.
Just having the ability to get almost any music to play on my system without buying it is a huge plus for me. For example in the "What are you listening to tonight" thread there was recent talk about Coldplay's live DVD Austrialia concert and the X & Y album.
I just opened rapsody, called up coldplay and was able to listen to both prior to possible purchase. While you might be able to argue the quality is not CD, the Lyra wireless set up allows me to decide about most (not all unfortunately) music purchases by listening on my system to an extremely close example of the CD/DVD.
In this way both Rhapsody and my Lyra wireless pay for themselves in the long run.
