Yup. iTunes is the one. Just adjust the importing preferences by selecting:
iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Importing > MP3/192kbps

Great info.
My question is, surely there is a free gui for compression/expansion? I would have thought $50 us was a bit pricey for a basic utility like that?

If you don't want to use iTunes, check out Max: http://www.sbooth.org/Max/ |

Max is one of those Mac Apps that doesn't have a high profile, but IMHO is definitely a 5 star app. |
