^ and amr, if you want to use a recording (or a recorded conversation hehehe) you did as ringtone.
max_wedge, would it yield the same results if you encoded your songs directly from cd to 96kpbs aac instead of from the 128 mp3s? or do you think it may even sound better than the mp3s? i have the old version of dbpoweramp, but it only gives the option to convert to lame, ogg vorbis and wave files. thanks

when I record direct from cd to mp4 (say 96Kbps) the file size is actually slightly larger, and the quality slightly better, but not much.
Keep in mind a nicely ripped 128Kbps mp3 has enough audio info to sound just as good as a 96Kbps AAC. While there is a small advantage ripping direct from cd, if the original mp3 is good anyway, there isn't much point. dbpoweramp does an excellent job of transcoding.
However if the mp3 is poorly ripped (shitty codec or low bitrate) then obviously it won't get any better when ripped as an AAC. And if I want to rip 128Kbps AAC files, then I need atleast a 192Kbps MP3 or the original cd, for there to be any point in doing that.
Keep in mind my ear ain't that fussy. Some peeps would insist on ALWAYS ripping direct from CD (or cd quality wav) to get the maximum quality possible. Those peeps probably also code in atleast 192Kbps for MP3 and 128Kbps for AAC, if not higher.
So it comes down to personal preference to some extent....
