Hey Lisette, thanks. You know, I didn't look at the bit rate, and I should have. Much as I would dislike importing my CDs again, the poor sound quality does bother me quite a bit. One thing I wonder, though, I have iTunes match, so wouldn't I be playing a higher quality recording, even if my CD was imported at a lower bit rate? thanks so much for the help.
