When doing this with Beach Boys music is 192 kbps acceptable for high quality sound?

Generally, yes. I usually use mp3 VBR V2 which averages around 192, but goes under or above when it is needed.

OK thanks for the reply. I was worried that bass parts and/or high parts would be compromised.

With lossy codecs, I find VBR to be your best bet. Best/better quality while lower file size as compared with higher CBR bit rates.

I have one more question.. How do I burn specific segments of a song onto a disc?
Like for example, suppose I want burn "I Get Around" from the MIC box, but I want it to start after the studio chatter. Is there a way to do this?

For many years, I thought 192 kbps and VBR was the way to go for best sound with smallest file size. But, over the last year or two, I've discovered that I can tell the difference between 192 and 256, so I've been going with 256 and VBR most recently. Above 256, I can't tell the difference even when burned to a CD.
As to editing tracks, you can do it if you have software that allows it. iTunes doesn't do much in this regard, but Winamp has a little more functionality. Apart from audacity which works really well with WAV files, I imagine there are probably some other freeware options out there.

Everyone's ears are different, so it is best to take one song and rip it using V0, V1 and V2 and listen for differences. With LAME, most claim V5 is transparent, so anything below should be transparent unless you have golden ears, which if you under 25 you might well have.

In my case, it's been 17+ years since I passed that threshold.
But, I think what made the difference for me was playback equipment. When that improved, I noticed. But that's putting it strongly, really. There's no remarkable difference. I might actually try the experiment you suggested.
