Hi Djae
I asked the same question when I started ripping all mine.
http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/index.php?showto...3001&hl=ripping
I now rip at 160. Anything less than this and the quality is just not good enough for me. Above this I can't tell the difference by the time it's been through the mixer/eq.

I rip at 192kbps. 
Again, like High Fidelity, anything above, and you cant really tell the difference in my opinion.

I'm using 'Easy CD-DA Extractor' and it's absolutely superb.
It also works with CDDB which saves you having to type the track titles of every track manually.

I use FreeRIP. It's free and uses freedb to put the titles in for you. I bought MusicMatch but found it too cumbersome.
128 Bit is the default for the majority of Encoders.
However, the quality is only noticable if you run a 5K sound rig at full volume, and no sound processing.
If you use OtsDj then the encoding is 192 bit which is the best quality to filesize.
Out of all the extractors i have used Ots Studio is the fastest!

If you are ripping from a CD that is a bit scratched or dirty most rippers can have a problem
The best ripper I have found is EAC (Exact Audio Copy). Quote from their web site

| this program reads every audio sector at least twice. That is one reason why the program is so slow. But by using this technique non-identical sectors are detected. If an error occurs (read or sync error), the program keeps on reading this sector, until eight of 16 retries are identical, but at maximum one, three or five times (according to the error recovery quality) these 16 retries are read. So, in the worst case, bad sectors are read up to 82 times! |
I admit it is not the quickest ripper arround but I believe it is the most acurate.
Best of all it is free (well the cost of sending the author a post card)
get it from http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/

160/192kbps is usual and of good quality
128 is awful! I use Itunes at 192 stereo.
i use SoundJam on a mac @ 192 Joint Stereo & 44.1kHz then copy them as mp3s to a cd for backup and take them to my Home machine. but i used to use AudioCatalyst2.0 on my pc at home and work pretty well.

I suggest ripping at a minimum of 192k and use the exactaudiocopy tool here - http://www.exactaudiocopy.org/
