Well I accidentally had the setting on the windows media player at 64kbps when I recorded my cd collection -
2 questions- How big is the difference between the quality of different kbps settings and what would you recommend I rip at?
One more - is their anyway to change from 64kbps to say 192 without going back and re-ripping every cd?
Thanks

"How big is the difference between the quality of different kbps settings and what would you recommend I rip at?"

Most people recommend 'at least' 128k for Music. 64k 'may' be acceptible for some plain speech (ie: books on tape or something). Variable bit rate is definately a superior choice is space is of concern. Checkout r3mix.net .

Well yes you can convert your 64k tracks to 192k but the quality won't increase. You can't pull the missing data out of thin air. Just like you can record a mono track in stereo but it won't sound any better (you'll simply have 2 channels of mono). (BTW That'd be there not their or they're).
