No no no het is niet Klass-Jan...check out the KBPS in your average lossless file. 'Lossless' means just that and lossless files retain the sample from the original file (16-bit, 24-bit are supported) whilst data-compressing them by a marginal amount. Therefore the kbps is usually in the thousands like 1756 (adjusts automatically per track).
Whilst AAC brand covers both mp3-like files and lossless files, lossless and files you can buy from iTunes are not the same. -----Original Message----- From: Klaas-Jan Jongsma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 April 2007 11:43 To: robin Cc: Ken Odeluga; 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) DRM-Free, High-Quality... It is 256Kbps AAC Lossless afaik. Apple Lossless also uses the AAC extensions and to the best of my knowledge is most of the iTunes Store encoded en ALE?
