Aloha and Mahalo

I think I missed the original question and for that I apologize.
Well, in my case, when I got my first portable MP3 player back in like 1998 it was a Creative thing that looked like a portable CD player and I ripped everything to 320kps because that was the best quality I could get at the time. Then one day I decided to experiment with different bit rates and I found I didn't hear any difference via headphones with 192kps. Below that I felt I heard a difference- where 128kps was not absolutely terrible but it was unacceptable. Really terrible was 96kps and below. So I made 192kps my standard and its been that way ever since.
I know its not what you would want but I don't think the CE companies will push anything that adds more demand on bandwidth right now. They need to make the songs small enough not to overload the cellular networks.
