You're definitely right about that. An AAC is definitely better than a standard 128k MP3...but I can instantly tell the difference between the two files--320k vs. 128k-- even on my crappy PC speakers.
When you compress music, the encoder deletes "non-essential" music data from a particular song. This is unacceptable to me when I'm paying $0.99 a song. 15 songs equal the price of one CD, where I could have gotten true CD quality in the first place by buying the CD! Why would I consider paying for less quality...because I can make my own custom CDs? Please!
I hope they've got a better reason that that. I think I'll buy best of CDs if I'm after only a few songs. I think there's more value in that.
