Two questions for the sound professionals.

I am a bit confused on how to collect music best. I read in a forum that the device I have chosen, via firmware can be updated to run .ogg-files, too. I also read different recommendations for how much compression should be used in order to have a good sound quality. First I read 128Kbit/s would be enough, then it was rtecommended to go to 198 Kbit/s, and more.

I believe I understood that ogg-files are at least as good in quality than MP3. Since I use Audiograbber to rip the CDs I want, and that thing is quickest and easiest when allowed to produce ogg-files. I would like to stay with that format. Speaks anything against that?

I have decided to use 256 Kbit/s, to be on the safe side of things. Is that too much - or should I even use 320, if I have sufficient memory?
