Depends on how you've chosen to encode the tracks.  The .mp3 settings 
go up to 192 kbps, which is MUCH better than some of the older 
encoding software I'd used.  No more cymbal smearing!  Even the 160 
is pretty good.  iTunes also offers "Apple Lossless" encoding, which 
takes up about half the space of a raw .wav.  Obviously .mp3 is 
better for conserving space, but you have the lossless option as 
well.  Also there's AAC too, but I haven't done a side-by-side 
comparison.
