Of course there is not always time to sit down and listen to 5 hours of music without a break but you should give it a try. From time to time I suffer a little bit from insomnia and can only hardly fall asleep. In this case I insert an ambient-mp3-cd in the mp3-enabled ghettoblaster in my bedroom and let the trip begin until I fall asleep with a smile on my face ;-) I am also looking forward to test my mp3-cds at the beach this summer. What a bliss...

I'm using the same 256K-320K VBR that Pete used on the Silence series. With 256K set as the minimum floor, but the preference set to allow for 320K when the source material is dynamic enough to require it. I've noticed for a lot of ambient music that this setting (obviously) produces files that are between the size of static 256K and static 320K, but that due to the non-dynamic nature of the source, they are closer to the 256K. For a lot of the other music I listen to, the size is closer to the static 320K, but the sound quality is also much better than the static 256K. This is why I think Pete was able to get so much of a space savings on the Silence disc, as there are fairly large chunks of those discs where nothing is really happening, so the 320K is not used and it drops back to 256K. It doesn't save a lot of disc space over static 320K, but because of the percentage of CDs that I have that are fairly non-dynamic ambient, it probably allows me to get another CD onto each CD-R and allows me to stuff another couple of albums onto the iPod. I could change the setting per CD, but this seems like a good, no-brainer compromise between file-size and quality and allows me to just chug through my collection. I was never really happy with the quality of static 192K, but I've been really pleased since moving to this setting.
