question arising after reading the release notes of itunes 8.1

[franepici]

hi everyone,

 

I'm upgrading itunes on my wife's ibook, and I read something strange in the release notes talking about the new functionalities of the 8.1 version:

 

"allows importing CDs with the same sound quality of itunes plus"

 

now, the itunes plus standard is just 256kbps AAC, so what's the point?

I too read that and chuckled to myself.

 

I guess it's a step up in quality though :~)

 

[franepici]

yes, for music downloads, but not for ripping

LOL

What Apple means is you can rip your music in a fabulous VBR mode, which clearly is a progress in sound quality. For the theory contact the Fraunhofer Inst. in Germany.

 

Kind Regards from Germania
