This is not a very good thing to do for audio quality. Since the tracks from pjboots are in 128kbit/s... This is what they will be in on the CD as well. When you rip that CD to 256kbit/s with iTunes, you're compressing them again! It would be a lot better to just put the files you downloaded from pjboots directly on your iPod by dragging them to iTunes. It would save space on your iPod as well

I have alot from PJ.com that I bought in mp3,back in 2003.I also have the actual cd's,from a bunch of shows.
They are all 256...
Yeah, when you rip those CDs with iTunes, you're converting them to 256kbit/s. On the CD, the tracks are in higher quality.
