What does format mean? why does it say its full?

Well, no I don’t necessarily recommend the lower bit rate and rip at the highest possible rate for files I intend to keep, however you have to consider the purpose. See my post regarding the Griffin dock. For most people, listening to MP3’s on earbuds, 128k is just fine, and gives you a lot more room for more tunes. Having been an audio consultant for years, I find (sadly) that most people actually care very little about sound quality, hence the lack of high bit rate downloads and audiophile quality soundcards (though this is improving).
