If you use Razorlame with Lame 3.97 Beta2, and this command line [-m j -h -V4 --vbr-new], it gives you 160 CBR size, with at least 192+ CBR quality. I did VERY significant testing and this is pretty much the lowest bitrate w/o being able to tell the difference between CD and MP3.
Now if you can't figure out what I just said, this might be too complicated for you unless you want to put some time in. But yes, definitely use VBR as the quality is higher compared to CBR at the same filesizes. However, CBR obviously gives you predictable file sizes. It's a trade off, but I prefer quality over quantity, so VBR it is. Jam it back in, in the dark. ~ Ready To Strike ~ :Currently Playing: League Of Legends(PC), Skyrim(PC), Golden Sun: Lost Age(GBA), Twilight Princess(Wii), Portal2(PC), Dragon Warrior II(NES), Metroid Prime 2: Echoes(GC)

Using AAC is not a bad idea, however, a great LAME VBR rip is much better than an equivilant sized AAC at CBR (IMHO). I use AAC all the time for movie encoding because it does 5.1, but I use VBR settings for that too.
I will second Free.User, and recommend MEDIUM HIGH settings. Most people consider 128kbps CBR to be average, and I wouldnt be caught dead ripping at that. So I imagine Medium High to be about 160kbps average bitrate. I'm gonna say this one more time, and then get off my soapbox. If you want to go MP3, LAME 3.97b2 is the way to go. LAME works with almost any ripping program, and Razorlame does wonders if you can get your CD's as WAV on your hard disk. If you want more info, I can step-by-step you through the set up. There's nowhere I can't reach. ~ Ready To Strike ~ :Currently Playing: League Of Legends(PC), Skyrim(PC), Golden Sun: Lost Age(GBA), Twilight Princess(Wii), Portal2(PC), Dragon Warrior II(NES), Metroid Prime 2: Echoes(GC)
