I must say that I am fully converted to the idea that AAC files SOUND BETTER than MP3 files. I have ripped 128 kbps AAC files from 192 kbps MP3 files to discover that the AAC files sound better than the originals. This is most amazing. I plan on re-ripping all of my CDs into the AAC format because of this discovery. k On Friday, May 2, 2003, at 10:22 AM, David Flory wrote: > On Friday, May 2, 2003, at 08:18 AM, Richard Nagle wrote: > >> Now, all your music will be copy protected and you can't pass it >> around. > > Richard, you really seem set on being negative.
