Right.
Well, if you have 256 kbps songs then it would let you put almost twice as many songs on. If they're bigger than that (like, some kind of lossless file) the gains would be even BETTER. That's pretty amazing and well past "that much space." It's a whole honk'n amount of space.
???
Ruin?
I'm not clear what you're asking. I'm sorry.
Yeah, with earbuds that's fine. If you're hooking up to a stereo you might notice, but it's 'good enough' if you'd ask most people.
Shame about the artwork. That's enough to make me not use it when I totally would otherwise.
Engadget says this blocks syncing for jailbroken iPhones. Can anyone confirm that? Would that be a first if true?
I have about 25 GB of music, mostly in 256 kpbs, plus a couple of GB in podcasts. I also have a 16 GB iPhone (bought when 16 GB was the max), formated capacity 14.7 GB.
Converted to 128 GB, everything would about fit on my iPhone, simple as that. Yes, it would need another 12 GB on my harddrive, but that has hundreds of GB of free space.
Apps, namely new high-resolution games. Still, unless you don't have an iPhone or iPod, 16GB should be fine.
I've got hundreds of GB of content in my iTunes library, but I've got my computer for hosting my entire library and my iPhone for my mobile music. My iPad is staying at home right by my bed or couch so I don't see any reason to load it up with music. Sure, I'll throw a few albums on there, but the majority of my iPad usage will probably break down to something like Safari: 65%, apps: 20%, books: 10%, music and photos: 5%.
Ah that is cool. It'll save me a few Gigs that way. (MY 320kbps Beatles collection takes up 3gb. It will take up less than 1 @ 128kbps.)
By then again, it might sound like poop.
2 things.
Any headphones better than generic iPod and you should hear a clear difference.
Also, when you transcode lossy to lossy audio, you introduce artifacts, which is very bad.
No it will NOT "320kbps songs" the recompession is done on the fly as the songs are downloading to the iPod/iPhone/iPad. The copy on the computer remains unchanged.
Why do it? My iTues library is mostly in Apple Lossless and takes way more than 100GB of space. Going to AAC will alow my to fit a ton more music in the iPod but also allow be to hear full CD quality at more on the stereo system.
To get twice as many songs on your iPod, perhaps? (Or, in my case, simply just to sync what I have)
When you start with lossless this won't matter (but people starting with lossless would probably prefer something higher than 128 kbps).
And yet millions of people have converted (lossy) DVDs to iPhone-friendly (lossy) H.264 files and they've been perfectly happy with those.
Heck, I've converted DVDs to AppleTV format and I think they look just fine on my HDTV.
So sometimes things aren't really all that bad despite the fact that they can be described in a scary way.
What does "higher bitrate" mean? 128? Is it configurable anywhere?
Most of my library is 256 kb/s and I'm happy with that. I have some lossless tracks ripped from DVD-A and I'd like to dynamically compress those, while keeping the rest of my library at 256 kb/s. It looks like I can't do that; can anyone confirm?

It's not syncing my jailbroken iPod touch. It's not even showing up in iTunes anymore. Back to 9.0.3 for me when I get home to my SuperDuper backup.
And they've retracted it appears (without noting that they did or why). Interesting.
Here is a screenshot of the new books section, I just dragged a free .epub book from the internet into my library and it appeared. However, it is organisation only, so I can't actually read the book inside itunes, like you can with music, video and podcasts.
People "are perfectly happy" because they don't know any better. You can't possibly hope to make the claim that opinion overrides facts.
Yep, time to get an iPad...this thing is gonna be a steamrolling juggernaut for the tablet market.
