Damo · **Bit rates on iPod -** 08-26-2008, 04:51 PM

Hi

A question for all you bitrate wizards out there. I am not much of an audiophile, so buy my music encoded at 160kbpsVBR WMA. When I encode this to AAC in iTunes, is it wasting space to encode at anything above the original bit rate ie: 160VBR WMA to 192 AAC? Or is there a setting to keep the source bitrate?

Cheers
