What is the Bitrate of a Digital Audio Compact Disk?

What is the bitrate of a Digital Audio Compact Disk? What bitrate should I copy to my computer?
I'm not talking capabilities. I mean the the actual bitrate of recordings on current popular music CDs bought from a major retailer. Thank you.
Thanks for answering my question. Are popular CDs really at 1600kbps? Perhaps 160kbps? A lot of folks say 256kbps, but I cannot find proof of this this anywhere. One of my Scorpion CDs is remastered and it says brags only 24kb.

1600 kbps, approximately.

320 kbps is decent. Lossless is better.
