The AAC format does not compress MP3s
Authored by: sloth on Jul 01, '05 11:57:37PM

This is not a good hint but your criticism is amazingly wrong.

1) AAC is not just a wrapper on MP3. They use different encoding mechanisms.
2) AAC does not (have to) have DRM. The AACs you download from iTMS have Fairplay DRM but the AACs you make yourself (as described in this hint) have no DRM.
3) A 128kbps AAC is more-or-less the same size as a 128kbps MP3 but will sound much better.
4) No human needs 360kbps MP3s.
