I would say : Yes !!
Of course, better are 160kbps.
But i think 128kpbs is still ok !

It depends on the codec you use for encoding. In the past there where codex out which sounded HORRIBLE at 128Kbps. The old Xing Encoder for example - terrible.
But with a decent codec - for example LameEnc (freeware codec coming with Cdex CD-Ripping software) - it sounds just fine.
I guess with the avarage BOOM, TSCHAK, BOOM, TSCHAK kind of sound you will never hear any difference.

Depends who your crowd is...
if your crowd are a bunch of audiophiles on a quiet, sharp system, they'll stone you for using 128kb
But if it's just a bunch of people having fun, on a big ol' club system, 128kb is fine, just make sure it sounds remotely good..

I encode all my mp3's with the free cd-xtractor program that uses lame and 128 at high quality sounds virtually indistinguishable from the cd (note this is for hip hop and 4 to the floor beats). It creates a very slight compression which you won't hear unless you an audiophile and some beats , especially hip hop, sound fattened up as compared to the cd. You can notice compression when the beat goes away and then the highs get really high since they're not being squeezed and what i do is eq down the mids and highs when the beat is absent and then when it comes back you can notice the compression. But the sound quality is really excellent nonetheless. One more note, rock tracks tend to sound shittier then electronic music, since rock usually has real instruments and the guitar can really suffer and sound like shit without proper eqing to offset the compression.
