Default MP3 bit rates for in-car


I'm getting my new MP3 HU (Kenwood Z838W) this Christmas from SWMBO.

As this unit is for use in a 1998 Land Rover Discovery TDi (not the quietest
of machines), what bit rate would you guys use to compress the files?

I normally use 192Kbps for use in my MP3 player I use on my bike, but I hear
many people using 256 in cars.

Also - not having used an in-car MP3 player before, how can I store the
files? Will it only read from the root of the CD, or can I put my albums in
named folders on the CD?

Opinions please. ;-)
