Having said that using a higher bitrate than the 64k,will only give you a bigger file with no quality gain...so use a bitrate no less than 64k...
JM2cents..good luck!

So you're saying I'm just as well off converting to 64k MP3 as I would be to 320k MP3?

I find that hard to believe.
When I listen to streams on 96k MP3, it sounds absolutely terrible.
Same when I convert a 64k WMA to 96k MP3. Whereas if I do it in, say, 256k, it seems to sound identical to the original 64k WMA file.
