WinRip questions

I installed WinRip (came with my Mobo) and have a couple questions.

1. When Encoding MP3s, is 256-bit enough? The default is 128. HDD space is not a problem. Should I go any higher on the bits?

2. Everytime I start windows, it automatically launches in the system tray. Can I turn this off? I can't find any preference options for it. If I turn it off in MSconfig, I get a notice everytime I start windows.

im not sure on what to do on Question 2, since ive never used the proggy, but in terms of MP3 quality, you definitely want to stay at 128 kb/s and up. If you have the HDD space to go higher, and you are willing to wait a little more for the Rip process to complete, then you can try ripping a 320 Kb/s mp3. That will give you the best quality Mp3 sound.
