Ah.. Note to self: Haste makes waste, never buy on impulse, think before 
you post because this is going into the archives and some day your 
grandchildren will dig forth your old posts yadyadyada ;-)

Then I can't really help, cause my system (and probably also my ears) isnt 
good enough to distingush this. Personally I use q 4,5 for "ordinary 
replacable stuff" (ie borrowing/encoding common CD's to sample the music. 
Long live the music sections in libraries) and will most likely use q 5 to 
6 on music I'd like to keep for an extended period of time. I have this 
thing about keeping my max bitratres around the 160-180 kbs. I don't really 
believe in lossy longterm-archival quality.
