[vorbis] what quality ?

[Patrick Masters]

I actually find -q3 fine. It sounds 10 times as good as mp3 at 128. Smaller
file size, great sound.

In response to the original question, youll have to try various settings.
Some people such as myself like -q3, and soem audiophiles like the -q4.99.
Its really up to you. Some people have better hearing and some dont. I have
decent hearing and just fine with the sound quality and file size of -q3.
