[vorbis] Bit Rate Peeling Quality

[Paul E]

I did a quick check and although q6 is a theoretical nominal of  192kbps 
I was getting ~145kbps.  So even if you are getting 160kbps actual you 
can fit a little less than 10 hours on one cd.  That is a significant 
space savings vs. a vhs cassette.  You might really just want to backup 
to a large external (or internal if you really want to) harddrive if you 
have that much stuff and space is a concern.  Or you could use DVD+-R 
media.  I've seen 4X drives below $200 USD lately, even lower for the ~2X.
