Ripping CD's in 320kbps?

[omably]

Hello All!

I was wondering if someone could help me with ripping CD's... I know how to I think, but I have a couple of questions.

I've noticed a lot of you guys rip your CD's as 320kbps bit rate, the highest quality, right? Well I use iTunes to 'import' music from my CD's into iTunes and when I check that tab thingo in iTunes to check the bit rate it shows up as 128kbps? I was wondering if I was doing something wrong? If there was a different way to do it? Or am I even 'ripping' the music so to speak?

I hope one of you can help me!

Thank you guys in advance!!~
