iTunes 7.2 has a great new feature I find extremely useful!

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but as its early days I didn't think it would have.

I discovered today that if you have the new iTunes 7.2, you can convert to AAC in 256kbps instead of the old 128kbps! I found this amazingly awesome for converting favourite tracks of mine, whilst ones I'm not that fussed over can stay 128kbps😀.

Since the new update, I have rediscovered my library because I now know how much better a doubled bitrate sounds!😎

Just wondered if any of you have found this out?🙂
 
Couldn't you rip the CDs at 256kbps before???😕 or are you converting 128kbps files on your computer, if so there is no improvement.
 
I'm converting existing files on my computer. Before, I thought you could only convert to AAC at 128k.😎

Click to expand...

You will not gain back any quality, that isn't in the original file you will just make the file larger. unless you are converting from a higher bitrate in another format.
 
Ah. Ok.😱

I'm sorry guys... move along😉 .

I thought iTunes was so so good that I thought it'd make a difference to the quality of the songs.😀 :apple: .

You realise that you can have any bitrate you like with iTunes Preferences==>Advanced==>Importing==>Setting==>Custom?
