Maybe you are thinking of the default for mp3s, which is about 160kbps IIRC.

I'm not talking about the way itunes rips the music, I'm talking about how it puts it on your ipod.
My whole library is in lossless, well most of it anyways.
When syncing my ipod it gives the option to load all music as 128aac. I only have a 32gig ipod and my library is closer to 80gigs (or more)
If I left it at lossless I won't be able to fit my library on my ipod.
I could just have all my library as mp3s but by the time I buy a new ipod or iphone hopefully it will be 64gigs (or even 128) and then I'll be happy I use lossless because I won't have to re-rip everything.
Even at 64 I can just manually convert some of my songs (while keeping the lossless) to a lower quality and use that until such time that there is an ipod big enough to fit my entire library without downconverting any of it.
Que someone chiming in with "what would you want lossless for anyways, there is no audible difference to your crappy ears".
