I agree about ogg. I encode at about quality 4, though. that's about 128 kbs. Another encoding you might look at is flac. It's lossless and compresses to about a 1/4 of the original wav file size. With today's storage mediums being so large, you could easily keep quite a few albums in this format around. Plus to you can encode to ogg or mp3 or whatever when you need to.
