Just whatever you do, don't convert from a lossy source to another a lossy format. So don't convert f.ex 320 kbps MP3s to AAC 256 kbps. If your source is MP3 files at 320 kbps (rather than f.ex a CD), let them stay that way.
I think I will keep them at 320kbps then, as my main source is CD's ripped at 320kbps and I would be converting those 320's to 256's AAC.

the storage isnt a huge problem as its only about 200ish songs im going to miss out on, I just have to refine my playlists abit more lol
