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.

Question is if a bitrate peeled LC-AAC compatible file from a HD-AAC file would be comparible quality to a LC-AAC encoded file?
128Kbit/s peeled files vs 128Kbps/s normal encoded files... EDIT: Bitrate peeling probably isn't the right term to use for HD-AAC. This post has been edited by LithosZA: Jan 9 2013, 19:31 |
