It is not actually limited to 320. There are different types of software that will go over 400. But 320 is a reasonable practical limit for most applications. The whole point of mp3 is that you end up with a compressed smaller file than a wav file for example.
If you go to very high bit rate mp3s then you don't have a significantly smaller file than a wav. So whats the point? You may as well just save the wav file - which is higher quality than any mp3.
320 kbps
No, 320 kbps is not considered CD quality; rather, it refers to the bitrate of an audio file. CD quality audio is typically defined as 16-bit/44.1 kHz, which corresponds to a bitrate of approximately 1,411 kbps in uncompressed PCM format. However, a 320 kbps MP3 file is a high-quality compressed audio format and is often regarded as the best quality for MP3s, providing good fidelity for casual listening.
The iPod Touch supports many popular audio formats including: AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), HE-AAC, MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+), Apple Lossless, AIFF, WAV
There are mp3s,aac,flac,shn,ogg,wav,aa,wma and others.Ipod does not play all.It plays AAC (M4A, M4B, and M4P up to 320 Kbps), MP3 (up to 320 Kbps), MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR), WAV, and AA (Audible spoken word, formats 2, 3, and 4)".
It depends. Even though the 320 kbps is higher quality you might not be able to hear any difference between 320 and 192 kbps if your speaker or headphones aren't good enough. You could try www.mp3ornot.com, where you can try hearing the difference between 128 and 320 kbps-files. If you can't hear any notable difference there, you won't a notable difference between 192 and 320.
MPEG Layer III, commonly known as MP3, is a digital audio format that uses lossy compression to reduce file size while maintaining sound quality. The bit rate for MP3 files can vary, typically ranging from 32 kbps to 320 kbps, with higher bit rates generally providing better audio quality. MP3 is widely used for music and audio streaming due to its balance of compression efficiency and fidelity.

It depends on the quality of the songs. The higher the quality, the more space it will take up. Say each song is 128 kbps (without being a FLAC file -- THE highest quality, the highest for an mp3 is 320 kbps), 908 songs will take up around 4 GB if they are 3-5 MB each.
'Kbps' stands for Kilo Bits Per Second.For more detail you can check on MP3 file structure and bit rates, like 128Kbps or 320Kbps.
Standard audio CDs use a sample rate of 44.1 kHz, each sample has 16-bit resolution and there are two audio channels. 44,100 x 16 x 2 = 1,411,200 bits/s = 1,411 kbps. For comparison, the highest bit rate for MP3 is 320 kbps.
That all depends on the length of the song and the compression type used. An MP3 @ 320/kbps would hold 3200 minutes of music. Assuming each song is 2.5 minutes long that's about 1600 songs. Of course if you use a worse compression system (~128/kbps), you will get lower quality music but be able to hold almost twice as many songs.
An average MP3 at 128 KBPS is 4.5mb so your looking at 16000mb divided by 4.5 which is around 3555 Songs. or 350 albums
