OK, so I started using Itunes recently. Yes, I know...get with the 2000's Randy, lol.

Anyway, I am planning on buying an external storage drive to store my CD's, Vinyl, etc. If I use a higher bitrate or lossless format for my local Itunes copies for the best quality when playing over my M80's, can I synch easily to a portable device (Ipod, mp3 players) in a lower bitrate to save space on the device? I see where I can experiment with various encoders and bitrates in Itunes, but can't see where the import bitrate setting would be different than what I put on a portable player.
