If I am posting torrents I like to use Exact Audio Copy. I have my drive settings saved so I can easily switch between FLAC, or LAME mp3 rips. Usually I try to rip the mp3's as a 256 kbps VBR (V0). But if it's already been uploaded in that format, i'll try either the 320 CBR (320), or the 192 VBR (V2) rips if they are not uploaded. I only do this for torrent sites because some are anal about the way you rip files and want "proper rips."
here's a website that is excellent on how to use Exact Audio Copy for FLAC and Lame mp3

If I am uploading it on here though, (or at least from now on, and when I re rip my 1700 cds to my computer) my posts on my blog and in this forum as a 256 kbps VBR mp3 rip from iTunes.
