    Spend a couple weekends with your cd collection or one of your friends collections and just re-rip as many of your songs as you can. Maybe you can get one of your little cousins to do most of the work for you or get a few cd's running in the background while you are at work.

    itunes are pretty much all 256 plus they are AAC encoded. Shop with play.com man, they have the same collection all in 320. They even tell you the bit depth before downloading (its listed next to the track). Plus play is cheaper than itunes. itunes take the piss if you ask me!

    Yeah my brother has a lot of my old CD's and he just moved to the middle of nowhere West Virginia last summer (I'm in Massachusetts) so I need to hit him up.

    Mixed in Key takes forEVER with this many files. I've had it run all night and it's still going batty.

    But I'll tell you, even though I'm trying to organize my files, I've become a bit of a forum junkie as of late and... well I keep finding more tunes to grab. It's a terribly good thing in it's own way.

    Is there any easy way to edit the genre's you have to choose from in iTunes if anyone knows? Trying to figure that out so I can add the basic set I want right off the bat.

    yeah I was just playing with the iTunes store cause it was well... right there and easy. I really like beatport.com and haven't had much of a problem finding tunes there until recently with some obscure releases. I'm trying to expand my horizons on where to get quality tunes, and armed with new knowledge of what quality I'm actually looking for.

    To edit, highlight all the tunes you want by clicking shift to highlight multiple tracks (as you are working you're way down the list if there are gaps in between tracks you want to highlight you can command to highlight individual tracks), then left click or control click, hit edit, (yes to edit multiple tracks) then on the edit window you have the genre right at the bottom.
    then you're done

    What ever you're comfortable with 'ey. For me having play open for shopping and itunes open for listening is no extra work. I'd sooner have to deal with an extra window if I know Im getting the same tracks for cheaper and in a better quality.

    stop saying that there are no 320+ quality.

    wiki:"Non-standard bit rates up to 640 kbit/s can be achieved with the LAME encoder and the freeformat option, although few MP3 players can play those files. According to the ISO standard, decoders are only required to be able to decode streams up to 320 kbit/s"

    search the web(I will give you links but cant find in my bookmarks right now) for that encoders if you like, but they exists....
