Here it is a new year, and I haven't heard any updates to last year's rumor that Apple would be adopting HD-AAC for the iTunes Store and would start to offer lossless and/or hi-res downloads. If the rumored Pandora-killer iRadio happens, would that likely be the driver for HD-AAC?
WAGs also welcome.

Why is it apparently so difficult to read words?
QUOTE (jkauff @ Jan 9 2013, 13:06)  lossless and/or hi-res downloads Edit: OK, the mention of iRadio is irrelevant, since I doubt many stations are already at the upper limits of non-‘HD’ AAC or any other contemporary streaming format. But it’s a perfectly valid question in the context of downloads. This post has been edited by db1989: Jan 9 2013, 17:04 |
