wtf, I hate to flame, but..
you are as dumb as a sack of hammers. Quit encoding at 128 KB/s or buy some decent facking speakers. I encode everytning at a minimum of 160KB/s, usually higher, the quality of the sound continues to amaze me. I get sound quality that rivals CD raw at 1/8 to 1/12 compression ratio. Open your eyes, boy.
MP3 isn't established. I hate to do it, but, MORON! Compression formats are quite standard, even the ones that should be scrapped. MP3 stands for MPEG, layer 3. I will garuntee that MPEG will be around in five years, in whatever incarnation. I am reasonably certain that it will exist in ten years. Look at zip files/tar files; old school. MPEG, and to a lesser extent quicktime, are their equivalent in the day of multimedia.
One word of advice, think before post.
