Question

Why do the idiots at iTunes not let me specify my bit-rate for the music purchases I make? I want 320 kbps!?

Answer 1

You won't get it- all they do is crappy aac at 128kbps. Buying music online is a complete and utter waste of money. Download stuff for free or else just rip the CDs.

Answer 2

I can't answer that but I feel your pain. 128kbps is an appalling bitrate. Try emailing them with your thoughts  

Answer 3

You don't need 320kbps all it does is use up more mb's and there's no difference in sound quality

comming fom someone whose done many sound recordings using the best 32bit wav recordings right down to 64kbps mp3 i can safely say you'll hear no difference in sound quality unless your passion is classical music where 320kbps is an advantage

Answer 4

I don't think you can, but the iTunes plus songs are in 256kbps if the interests you.
