I repect ur advice but I'm more towards the audiophile type and found that when Rahman's music was ripped lower than 320kbps, especially at a low 128kbps, the quality was lacking.
For casual listeners, it wouldn't mean much a difference and may even find it an amazing quality, for the difference is very little. However, I feel that I need to listen to his music in the best affordable quality, so I opt to rip only ARR's music and a few masterpieces from others in 320..
