192 or 256 kbps is the standard to retain CD quality, but the most important thing is to be sure to encode using VBR (variable bitrate), not CBR (constant bitrate)

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:

Always wondered this...presumably CBR offers the same quality but occupies more space ? I have an old MP3 player that doesn't understand VBR.

Best quality you can get for an MP3 is 320 CBR encoded by Lame and using Exact Audio Copy. But because 320 takes up too much space the VBR option is better as the quality is great and it doesn't take up too much space.
