RobM Distinguished Member. Do you mean from CD to iTunes? If so, the higher the bit rate the better IMO, so long as space isn't critically tight. Although many wont be able to hear much of a different, kit like the Zeppelin is good enough to highlight differences. If you mean existing digital content, there is no benefit in converting to another format other than compatibility, which isn't an issue with your kit by the sounds of it. When you create compressed, digital copies of music you lose data hence, lossy and you don't get that back by re-encoding to a different format.
If anything, you risk making it worse as different codecs have different compression methods, so different parts of the data are lost.
Bl4ckGryph0n Distinguished Member. What I tend to do is rip my CDs at mbps. They sound great like that when playing at home on decent speaker, and to be fair also pretty good on my ultimate ears headset. However I do have the box ticket that music sync with my iPod and iPad gets down converted to automatically as generally it is played on systems that can't get the benefit and thus take up less space.
Enabling this option lets you save storage space on an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad by compressing the music stored on the device. If you want decent compression while maintaing music quality, kbps is a happy medium.
This option is available only to those using iTunes Prior to iTunes You will definitely save a lot of space with kbps compression, but audio quality does suffer slightly, though how much that is noticeable to you probably depends on your hearing and the quality of speakers or headphones you are listening to music with.
Nice find by MacStories. Get more of our great Apple tips, tricks, and important news delivered to your inbox with the OSXDaily newsletter. It's interesting to see how much space is saved using this visual once the conversion process has finished. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.

Only available on OS X though. Believe it should work with Shuffle, but never tried. Joined Apr 22, Posts Likes I don't think they're "not letting" you do anything, Mark. They're just serving their market, which is not audiophiles but mostly people who acquire their music from iTunes at kbps, and they're giving them the opportunity to convert it on its way to an iPod to I'd love to have a on the fly conversion, myself, and I imagine if they get enough feedback they'll offer it They seem to be heading for the cloud now.
A G4 iPod Shuffle anyone? Also considering the time it takes to convert, copy and delete, even with Apples solution it's not a huge jump from highlighting tracks, converting, organize by date, copy, then delete yourself. It's why I eventually gave up on the above AppleScript shortcut.
Cool, but about the same as doing manually. Course the one situation Unless you shuffle all the time. Hey that name! Sorry Mark.
