Saw the question asked and looked deeper into the issue. Where it says High quality, or itunes plus, scroll to custom, you can go from very low quality up to 320....you have to set the encoder to apple lossless if that's what you want. MP3 conversion (why bother) is limited to 192........hope this helps.
/me think you are confusing the import setting with this new feature.
Import have supported AAC (16-320kbps), MP3 (16-320kbps), AIFF, WAV and Apple Lossless for years. But that is a different feature than the one talked about here, which seems to be locked to 128kbps AAC for transcoding on the fly when transferring to iPod/iPhone.

The only thing I could find that'd help is this. However, I'm not sure how to implement it.

[_*Lossless to AAC Workflow v2.2*_|http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=losslessaccworkflow]

Two scripts assist with importing/managing Apple Lossless or AIFF audio files and sending converted AAC copies to a mounted iPod set to "manually manage songs and videos".

*Lossless to AAC Workflow (CD->iPod):*

Imports each enabled CD track as an Apple Lossless or AIFF file
Makes a converted AAC copy of each imported file
Adds the AAC file to iPod, deleting the original AAC from iTunes.

*Lossless to AAC Workflow (iTunes->iPod):*

Makes a converted AAC copy of each Apple Lossless or AIFF track selected in iTunes
Adds the AAC file to iPod, deleting the original AAC from iTunes.
In this way you can keep archived lossless files on your hard drive, and manageable AAC files on your iPod.

+Yes, iTunes 9.1 will auto-encode tracks to iPod, but only 128 kbps AAC; these scripts enable use of your Custom AAC encoder setting.+

It's not 320, but should be decent enough for most.

yeah i noticed this the other day, tbh since im now converting everything onto another computer for both itunes to use with the shuffles and then to upload to google music its not going to matter to me.

 

honestly it also feels like too little too late.  just why no 320?

I am in the same boat. Once I get all my CDs re-ripped to FLAC, I'll be going the Google Music route. Why no 320? I wonder the same thing..
