I have ordered an iPod Shuffle which should (hopefully) be on its way shortly and one of its greatest features is iTunes ability to convert bitrates to 128 AAC when transferring onto the Shuffle.
Wouldn't it be great if this could be a feature for iPods and iPod minis too?
For example i would love to re-rip my entire CD collection at a higher bitrate than the current 128 so when i am listening at home on large speakers, or the music is being played via AirTunes to the great speakers we have in the living room the sound quality is also good. But I dont require the higher sound quality when on the move as i cannot tell the difference between the bitrates on my earphones.
I'm sure many will say 'Get a higher capacity iPod' which i'm sure Apple would also like (higher sales) but I am looking to the future and a 8-10gb mini early next year hopefully which would be a perfect size at 128 but not at any higher bitrates.
What do you guys think?
