Add More Music to your iPod / iPhone

With Apple's new release of the iTunes update, anyone who owns an iPod / iPhone can now (during a sync) lower the quality of their songs to 128kbps in order to lessen their file size. To the listener, the quality isn't much different, however, the file size will almost take up half the space! The one cool thing that I liked about this was the fact that is it doesn't change your original files, the just ones syncing to the iPod. There's really nothing to loose, so go download the new version of iTunes (that was released today) and try out this new feature!

Chris Pirillo shared this on a blog post today. He explained how to enable it, "Install the update and begin your sync. Make sure to check “Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC” when you plug in your device. The sync will take longer than usual, because the application will need to convert all of the media to the new specification. You will be rewarded for the wait, though. Your iPhone or iPod will now be able to hold up to twice as many individual tracks as before."
