iTunes decoding questions

[Andybtsn]

Hey,

All my music have different bit rates, I want to convert all my music to one bit rate (192k). Whats the easiest way to do this? I've already tried one example and not only does iTunes make a duplicate of the song (instead of replacing it) it also puts a "1" at the end of the title. Obviously this is good as I can see the new bit rate easily and delete the previous song. But it's going to take ages to edit all songs

Is there a way to convert and replace the existing song? I can't find an option within iTunes.

Thanks

It seems to lose play count information etc too so it looks like I won't be doing this.
