• iTunes will automatically compress ALAC to MP3 when it syncs the library to the phone. You can choose the mp3 bitrate up to 256k, it takes time though.

  • Is that for streaming? I ask because according to itunes the music on my phone has retained the same bitrate (320 kbps for example) as the music on my computer - I did read though that itunes sometimes "lies" by upscaling music files to make them look higher fidelity than they actually are.
    Virtually all my music has been ripped from my own collection.
