Describe the feature/enhancement

I've converted a lot of Audiobooks to m4b with the standart settings. After that I recognize, that the soundquality is very very bad. After looking into the advanced settings, I saw that the standart bitrate is 64k. Fortuneatly all original data was in the cache folder. It was very timeconsuming to roll everything back. ^^

Is it possible to change the standart bitrate to 128k? I think that would be enough for a spoken Audiobook. 64k realy makes my ears bleeding.
