iTunes has always let you convert high bitrate songs to 128kbps when syncing them to your iPod, but a new setting in iTunes 10.6 lets you choose between 128kbps, 192kbps and 256kbps.
It might not satisfy the pickiest of audiophiles, but for many of us, 256kbps is enough to get you to stop managing multiple music libraries just for your high-bitrate files. 128kbps was always a little low, and it was annoying Apple didn’t give you more choice in the matter — and it’s still a little annoying they didn’t include the now-mostly-standard 320kbps — but at least iTunes has finally enhanced this oft-ignored feature.
