Apple Unveils Higher Quality DRM-Free Music on the iTunes Store
DRM-Free Songs from EMI Available on iTunes for $1.29 in May
CUPERTINO, California Music¹s entire digital catalog of music will be
available for purchase
DRM-free (without digital rights management) from the iTunes® Store
(www.itunes.com) worldwide in May. DRM-free tracks from EMI will be
offered at higher quality 256 kbps AAC encoding, resulting in audio
quality indistinguishable from the original recording
As Arny will confirm, 256 kbs is definitely distinguishable in mp3. How
does AAC perform at this bitrate?
I haven't compared it to CD, but it sure is better than 128.
