Just to add to what Tim's said, it's important to realise that iTunes never, ever replaces your existing songs with matched copies, even when the local copy is of lower quality. You would have to delete the copy in iTunes and redownload in order to obtain the 256K AAC versions. I use iTunes ma

Hi, It depends on how those items were synced to the iDevice. If they were brought down from iCloud to the iDevice, then they'll be iTunes quality songs. If they were sent over to the iDevice before they were matched using iTunes, then they will be of whatever quality they were to begin with.
