does anyone here use this function? is there noticeable difference between the bit rates that you can choose from I notice it take a huge amount less of space the lower the bit rate(obviously)

The lower version is only kept on your phone as far as I can tell.

And yes, I notice a huge difference. Not worth it IMO.

if you dont convert to a lower bit rate what are your songs in? 320kbps?

All of my songs are in 320kbps. I'm not sure what iTunes uses natively, as I've never bought from iTunes.
