Answer 1

As Gerry says, you can't change your purchased songs without first burning them to CD and re-importing them at a lower bitrate so I would forget about them. For everything else you first need to change your import settings to the format and bitrate you want for your iTunes files. After that everything you import will use that setting. If you like, once you've done that you can convert your existing songs and the conversion will use the import settings you chose.
1 Open iTunes
2 Go to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>Importing
3 Choose the format you want from the menu alongside Import Using, for instance AAC Encoder
4 Choose Custom from the Setting menu
5 In the dialog box that now appears, choose the Stereo Bit Rate you want from the list
6 Leave the remaining two boxes at auto and click OK
7 Click OK in the Advanced box to complete the setup
If you do convert your existing songs however you will end up with duplicates which you'll have to delete from the libray. To do this just go to the Library and sort your selection in "Bit Rate" order, that will allow you to quickly
identify the orginals. If Bit rate isn't a visible column in your Library then go to Edit>View Option and choose it from the list that appears.
