Why can't I choose my download bit rate?

I import all my CDs in AAC 256 bit rate, why can't I download music that I buy from iTunes at that bit rate?
If I am going to pay for a song, i want it at a decent quality bit rate, guess I just have to buy the CD anyway, so much for downloading convenience.

You can't. The store sell downloads @ 128, that is ALL they sell. The record companies provide the files to the store & most record companies are not in favor of providing CD quality downloads.
This is exactly why I have gone back to buying CD's, the quality of the store files do not meet my needs. I will buy the occasional song from the store when I do not wish to buy the complete CD.

  • Why can't I see my downloads in my pop up download window?

    why can't I see my downloads in my pop up window for downloads anymore?  I can find it when I go to my dowload file nder finder but it used to show automaticially in a download window... but not anymore???

    It's a UI regresion is it not?
    Changing standard behaviour like this, then assuming it's all ok seems quite strange, considering it's a years old feature that every probably uses as a management window...
    Some people think that a missing downloads window is a bug even.

  • HT201272 Why can't audiobooks be re-downloaded?

    Why can't audiobooks be re-downloaded? I recently suffered a hard drive failure and could recover my purchased music from iTunes but not my audiobooks. You have records showing I have PAID for them, they were all purchased through iTunes, they are just audio files like my music, but I'm not allowed to redownload my audiobooks? This policy encourages piracy and discourages use of iTunes. Why should I (Or any consumer) continue to use a service that doesn't cover me when I can go to a 3rd party like audible.com and be secure in the knowledge that purchases are protected?

    If there is another retailer whose policies are more favorable, feel free to shop there.

    For that issue, quit the App Store if it's open. 
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Click Go
    Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store and try downloading MLion.
    *****   Your post is rather confusing. There's a difference between reinstalling Lion and downloading Mountain Lion.

    ''Why can't I open my downloads?''
    The shortcut "Ctrl+J" takes you to the Downloads Manager, it is basically a journal of downloads. If the file is deleted afterwards it knows nothing about that.
    So if you download to a temporary files directly you could have many things clearing that. Likewise if you have Firefox set up to clear your history and that includes downloads you would lose them.

    If you are in Private session ("Ctrl+Shift+P") or permanent Private session with Tools > Options > Privacy > "Never Remember History" you would lose them.
    Right click on one of the files in the downloads to see where it was downloaded to. Also see about:config settings mentioned in the following along with other problems.

  • Why can't I CHOOSE the channels I receive?

    My parents pay far less for DISH and get more channels. The only reason I keep AT&T is because I need reliable internet. I'm frustrated with a lot of channels with NOTHING to watch. This is compounded by the fact that I get multiple Spanish language channels (not just local broadcast) and I don't speak Spanish and I get multiple sports channels and I don't watch sports--well I will watch the Olympics. I also don't watch cartoons and there's lots of those available to me. Most of my TV watching is local broadcast or PBS. I'd love to get BBC or WGN without paying extra. I would gladly drop all the Spanish, sports and cartoons to get some intelligent adult TV that's in a language I speak, that doesn't include men bashing each other's skulls and doesn't make me lose IQ points.  Why can't we choose the type of service we want instead of just getting one the choices we can afford from AT&T's cookie cutter products?

    What you are describing is called "a la carte service" and has been debated for years if not decades. The main reason you can't pick and choose channels has to do with how the channels themselves make money.  For the most part, each one cuts a deal with each TV service (e.g. Xfinity, DirecTV, U-Verse, Dish, Time Warner Cable) where the service pays the channel a certain amount for each household capable of viewing it (usually less than 50 cents, but ESPN charges something like $5).  Note two important factors here: (a) it is the TV services that are paying the channels, and not the other way around; (b) it is based on how many people can view a channel, and not how many people actually do. With "packages," a lot of channels that very few people would watch are grouped together with the more popular channels, and the additional cost of carrying these channels is offset somewhat by the fact that the channels do not have to charge as much as they otherwise would because of the number of households that can watch the channel, most of which never will. If you changed this, and made everything a la carte, then most channels - including the popular ones - would have to charge more in order for you to view them.  Want BBC America?  $3/month, thank you very much.  That $5/month for ESPN?  More like $10.  Also remember that the service itself has to add to these costs so it can pay for providing the service (e.g. buying and sending out the cable boxes).

  • Download Bit Rate

    Is it possible to increase the download bit rate from 128 to 196 kbps when buying songs from Itunes? I like the sound quality of the higher bit rate? I've looked through the preferences and don't see that option. Any way of changing it? Thanks in advance.

    Sorry, no. The import preferences in iTunes only affects the your own CD's that you import. The store sells music in protected AAC format @ 128, that is ALL they sell.

  • Why can't I export a 24 bit PNG with alpha transparency?

    I have just upgraded my Macromedia Studio 8 to Adobe CS3, and
    it seems that I still can't export a 24 bit png with transparency
    from Fireworks (Photoshop can do it, but it's just not suited for
    volume graphic production). Anyone know something I don't, or can
    someone at least explain why I can have alpha transparency on 8 bit
    and 32 bit, but not 24 bit pngs? Currently, I'm planning to export
    everything from Fireworks, then batch-process through Photoshop to
    reduce from 32 bit to 24 bit, which is just... gah! Words fail
    me.

    If I'm correct, 8-bit png supports index transparency just
    like GIF's
    do. 32-bit png's support alpha channel transparency, so you
    can get
    variable or partial transparency in a full color image(8 bits
    for each
    color and 8 bits for an alpha channel) and 24-bit png's are
    similar
    jpegs, only you get lossless compression and no user-defined
    settings.
    So essentially, when you export a 32-bit png file you are
    exporting a 24
    bit color image with an 8-bit alpha channel.
