For mp3's it is if you use mp3 lame with a program called all2lame.
Though if you rip form cd's (what i guess you do not) use Exact Audio Copy.
If possible try to avoid iTunes, it is a bit flacky for these kind of
things.

If you want higher quality, but not bigger files it is suggested using ogg
vorbis.
For losless compression Flac is recommended.

more information can be found at
http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php
that is the best place to learn about settings for compression and related
stuff. There is a big community who are all into these kind of things and
they clearly know what they are talking about.

Greetings,
 Sietse
