Whats the format and whats the bitrate (Or is it lossless)?
Thanks!

I just have a problem buying music thats compressed with a lossy compression......
 
I know some people that ahave whole house audio systems and other high end things like that and some of them use iTunes and say it sounds just fine. I don't know the specific numbers of the encoding or what format it uses though.

Roughly equal to 160 mp3.

I don't think it's even that good.

seriously, if apple sold flac files for the same price (or lossless AAC that I could convert to flac), they'd actually have me as a customer, but for now I'm sticking to used CD bins.
 
Guys - there is an apple lossless format that you can import songs in (http://www.apple.com/itunes/import.html). When you download from the iTunes Store, they're equiv to about 160 kbs MP3. And every truly legitimate site is going to give you music in a lossless format, WMA or AAC - you're not going to be able to find .flac, etc, files anywhere to download at a legitimate site (i.e, not allofmp3) because there isn't DRM implemented.
