I don't have any experience with WMA, so I can't comment on that. But I do have about 200 albums encoded with the r3mix preset, so just as a point of information, the average bitrate of my music collection (only valid for the types of music, I've chosen to buy) is about 197 kbps, negligibly more than 192. With regard to "mr. smartypants's" other points, they seem perfectly valid to me, I don't see anything that warrants this explosion of terms like "STFU" Lets try to keep the posts more objective if we can here. Feel free to ignore me if you want, of course.
