AAC (MPEG-2 Part 7 / MPEG-4 Part 3 AAC) is superior to MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III), giving better sound quality, especially at lower bit rates and higher frequencies. MP3 is a very old codec started in the 80s. Time to move on. True, there are other modern formats as good, but they aren't as common or widely supported.
I didn’t say the MP3 was the best, I said it was the standard. After all, the iPod is commonly known as an MP3 player, is it not?
As far as what is best, that is subjective, you are welcome to your opinion.
If I am going to listen to music with earbuds, I can’t hear a difference beween MP3 and AAC. Now on the otherhand, if I go down to the music room and fire up the receiver, I don’t bother with AAC or MP3, I listen to CDs or BDs.
We’ve drifted a long ways from a TV out on the iPad. I’m still for it.
You have it. Buy an adapter.
Nah, it has to be the gullibility and stupidity of the hypnotized deluded millions of homosexual communist hairdressers who are the only people who buy Apple’s products. Oh, sorry. ;’) Thanks Swordmaker.
Perhaps my favorite “Apple is doomed” scenario is how some other companies are going to get into a market niche dominated and/or defined by Apple by undercutting Apple on price. The result of such a move is the competitor(s) not making enough margin (on their undifferentiated boxes running an OS they don’t own) to support their customer base — many of the complaints having to do with components they didn’t make, or the OS they didn’t develop.
