Make the bitrate selection menu look like this:

"Quality 1  (equivalent quality to to 128kbs mp3)"
"Quality 2  (equivalent quality to to 160kbs mp3)"
"Quality 3  (equivalent quality to to 192kbs mp3)"
(or whatever).
Sure, they'll complain when it doesn't say "128" in
winamp, but the alternative is worse. Choose the lesser
of two evils, ie. go for quality, not quantity.
