m4a is plain unencrypted MPEG4 audio. At a given bitrate, it is supposedly better than mp3. Your ears may vary.
But it is still lossy and not as 'portable' as mp3... (ie, your car stereo/non-ipod-portable are unlikely to play it, nor will your DVD player, etc.) The advantage mp3 has is that it is so common to find a player, so if it is lossy, I still want mp3. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44666 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
