adt observation: Maybe I’m not understanding you; my apologies if not. This discussion is not about apps — it’s about Itunes vs. Amazon music quality and prices. MUSIC. As a musician, I don’t want my mp3 player to have apps — I want a large selection of music that I can manipulate tempo, pitch, speed, etc. to learn riffs or straight out just enjoy the sound. There really is no difference between the quality of sound coming from an Ipod or a Zune. The original quality of the source is the difference. What do apps have to do with downloading music via Apple or Amazon?

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

I have a song in .flac and I want to know if it is “really” lossless or if it was converted from a lossy format. Most sofwares say it looks like CD-DA 99%. Why not 100%? If it came from iTunes I assume it is a fake lossless, right?

“[AAC] is also lossy compression but generally achieves better sound quality than MP3 at similar bit rates.”

That’s only generally true at smaller bit rates. At smaller bit rates, AAC provides better compression than MP3. At higher bit rates (such as 256kbps) they are essentially equal in terms of quality.

If you really want high-fidelity, buy the CD. Or as my audiophile friends tell me, if you really-really want high-fidelity, but the vinyl LP, if available.
