320kbps, but as AAC is higher quality than MP3 you don't have to encode at 320kbps to get as good quality as a 320kbps MP3.
If you are ripping from CD to use in iTunes or an iPod, better to encode in AAC format.
If you have existing 320kbps MP3's then there's not much point converting to the same bitrate AAC. The quality might even suffer because you are re-compressing an already compressed file.
However, I sometimes convert 320kbps MP3's to 128kbps AAC and to my untrained ears they sound identically... saves a bit of disk space that's all.

@jools - thanks. when using sony mdr71's, there is no difference between a 128kbps and a 256kbps mp3.
But when i use my Sennheiser HD25's i need a better quality recording.
i recorded most of my CD collection @320kbps so i could convert them to OGG's for my P900 or to ATRAC for my minidisc.
Thing is, on an iPod shuffle 1Gb, i'll only be able to fit >100 mp3's in that quality.
i've got itunes but never used it. i'll give it a go tonight

Some mad fool has decided to disassemble his iPod shuffle already, and posted the pictures:

From the US, my friend picked 3 up for me. Any takers?
Not to detract and turn this into a sellers market, people can PM me if they want one.
They are much smaller than I though and more importantly very light. You cant feel it round your neck.
