don't mind me, I'm just out hunting.

 I have recently started ripping CDs I own for their sweet sweet songs, and I have a question about bitrate.

Currently I'm using LAME 3.97 and EAC to rip it at a VBR that averages around ~240-260kbps for the songs. I picked a pretty serious bitrate because, well, bigger is better, right?

That's the question, is more or less 240kbps while hardly dropping below 200 an excessive waste of space, inflating my mp3 file's size?
