I don't know much about bit rates. The article didn't say anything about WMA, mp3, or whatever sound formats?

It'll be in mp3. 320 is pretty damn good (the best, for mp3). I prefer anything over 192kbps to run on the radio station I work for and usually, when we get music sent from record companies in the mp3 format, it's 320kbps. Most people can't tell a difference until it starts getting down below 160 and even that can be tough for me to hear a difference, depending on the audio clip and how loud I crank it.

320 is technically the best that a CD can be ripped at in mp3 format. But FLAC or OGG is amazing. Listen to a CD in FLAC format then go to 320, or if you dare, 192. You'll be surprised at how much of the quality is lost in the rip.
