Setting the minimum and maximum bit rates will allow you to rip MP3 files using the optimum disc space for the quality of sound that you prefer.
Personally, I rip using variable bit rate with a minimum of 128 and a maximum of 320. I have the quality value set to high. Using these settings I get a good quality sound using the least amount of disc space. I've just ripped a Joe Satriani CD with these settings as an example and the average bit rates of the resulting files vary from 183kbps to 279kbps. So you can see there that two tracks have been ripped at the same high quality but the first takes up just over half of the space it would have done ripped at 320kbps. Regards.
