We know bandwidth and disk space are always going to get cheaper, but we don't know when (if ever) the BBC will open up their archives for high-quality episodes.

So I think the best archival choice would be a high-quality bitrate (for sound quality), but a variable bitrate (to balance file size). In the mp3 encoder named "lame", I've been doing this with the "-V 0" argument.

Also, thanks for going to the trouble of uploading your episodes!
