Default Quality of MP3

Well I took everyones advice and made a CD burning in MP3 format instead of audio format. No skipping and plays good. Just curious,what setting should I use when converting my files to MP3? Thereare settings from low (64kbps to very high 320kbps) What is the difference? I don't understand which would be better.Thanks again.

The (supposed) quality of the sound. The larger the number the bigger the file and the (supposed) better the sound quality. For the bike 128kbs is more than adequate. You can go higher to 160, 192 or higher but honestly it would not make a difference on the bike. Rip e'm at 128 and get more on a disc.

BTW anything below 128kbs is not stereo. It is mono.
