Perhaps some quotation scrambling. I believe Walt wrote this.
I assume he is referring to ACC (iTunes default format and also the
default format for mp4 QT movies). From what I can sense, I don't
anticipate ACC replacing the way people use mp3's nor would I want it
to. That audio folk have one a fairly universal format to use/share
is a treat. I use 192-256 kbps mp3's when having the original is not
critical and ACC's sound no better to me. I changed my iTunes
default to mp3 and most of my audio apps will now automatically
import/convert mp3's. WinXP folks may not be able to play ACC, even
with QT7. That would be good to test. Rob D.
