So my boss, who was a big time music producer in NYC in his last job, sent us this article today about Apple's iTunes DRM Dilemma, etc. But here's a very interesting statement in this article...

"Royalty payments are required for using the MP3 format for distributed content, but no licenses or fees are required to stream or distribute content in AAC, making it a more attractive format for streaming content, such as Internet radio. AAC also offers better compression, support for more channels of audio, and requires less processing power to decode than MP3"

DJ - can we get AAC upload capability on ShowIt Web?? wink.gif

Oooh sounds good but I think AAC is only playable on iPods?
