mp3, wav, and aac(advanced audio codec) which is part of the mpeg4
spec. It is not apple's format.
"MPEG-4 AAC has been specified as the high-quality general audio coder
for 3G wireless terminals, Apple Computer has incorporated MPEG-4 AAC
into QuickTime 6, and the Digital Radio Mondiale system, the
next-generation digital replacement for radio broadcasting under 30
MHz, builds on the audio coding of MPEG-4 AAC. These exciting platforms
represent the state of the art in audio coding, and Via Licensing is
pleased to offer the MPEG-4 AAC Patent License Agreement.
The MPEG-4 AAC standard incorporates MPEG-2 AAC, forming the basis of
the MPEG-4 audio compression technology for data rates above 32 kbps
per channel. Additional tools increase the effectiveness of MPEG-2 AAC
at lower bit rates, and add scalability or error resilience
characteristics. These additional tools extend AAC into its MPEG-4
incarnation (ISO/IEC 14496-3, Subpart 4)."

Too bad MP3 quality sucks, do they store CD quality
audio? they do look like nifty little units.
