Windows Media Player...which rip option

I want to rip dosen's of CD's to a file format with the best quality and
least amount of space hard disk space taken up. Which should I choose, mp3
(128 kbps), wma (128 kbps) or wma pro at (128 kbps)? Any help would greatly
be appreciated along with an explanation as to why a certain choice would be
better than the other. Thanks in advance.

Don't rip anything at 128kb/s. Choose 192kb/s mp3 to get near cd quality.

No offence Paul, but go have your ears checked! lol
I used to rip my CDs to 192 Kbps MP3. Then I ripped some to 320 Kbps,
and I could certainly hear the difference. At that time I did not have
much CDs ripped yet, and I decided to re-do them ones I had to 320
Kbps.
I'd say 192 Kbps is the minimum, they sound fine. But a higher bitrate
is even better.

The mp3 format is supported by more players. A CD containing 130+ mp3
files with Juliet selected will play on my (9-year old) DVD player.
