When you create the MP3 you may wish to try more than one.  A variable bit rate and
a couple of fixed bitrates.  Compare the three or four files.


As to your lousy ears - with poor hearing (high frequency loss anyone?) quality encoding
is even more important.  When we got a home theater system I was able to understand dialog
that I couldn't with the TV's stock sound and speaker system.


A high quality sound system will enable you to hear more of your music.
