i use dbpoweramp to convert tunes to mp3/mp4/wma etc.96kbps is cd quality so not any less than that.
cd quality is more like 256Kbps MP3 or much higher, depending how good your ears are. Many listeners can hear differences between cd audio and 320Kbps or higher MP3's.
The term you probably should be using is "nead cd quality", which refers to anything that sounds as good or better than the cd played through a cdrom on a consumer PC sound card (not the greatest of audio devices), which is a 128Kbps mp3, hence the claim that 128Kbps MP3 is cd quality. If 128Kbps (which=96Kbps MP4) was "CD Quality" then what would be the point of higher bitrates
Besides, the actual bitrate of cd audio is over 1000Kbps of uncompressed audio, so only a pcm stream using an equal bitrate will be able to replicate "CD Quality".
On a quality music device such as a music phone or dedicated mp3 player you will get much better audio than you will get through the cdrom on your PC. I recommend using
atleast 192Kbps MP3 (or 128Kbps AAC) where space permits. It sounds much better you won't regret it.
