That would be about 160, 128, and 96k.

Well, 128k from a bad encoder. To get the equivalent of 128k from a good
encoder you'd have to use 96k.

You can run all the spectral analysis and audio differncing you want, but that
still won't tell you how good it sounds. The only way to figure that out is by
trying it.

Personally, I've found that Vorbis at 160k has the same or better fidelity
than MP3 at 192-256k except on a couple of songs, where the fidelity with both
suffers.
