Master Engineer: Apple's "Mastered For iTunes" No Better Than AAC-Encoded Music
New submitter Stowie101 writes "British master engineer Ian Shepherd is ripping Apple's Mastered for iTunes service, saying it is pure marketing hype and isn't different than a standard AAC file in iTunes. Shepherd compared three digital music files, including a Red Hot Chili Peppers song downloaded in the Mastered for iTunes format with a CD version of the same song, and said there were no differences. Apple or someone else needs to step it up here and offer some true 'CD quality downloads.'"
If someone is wrong then you should reply explaining why instead of moderating. The moderating system on slashdot isn't there to tell people what's right or wrong; it's to filter useful comments from trolls. -1, Wrong is intentionally missing.
-1 overrated isn't the same thing as "I disagree".
How do you know that you aren't the one that's wrong? Things which seem obvious often are vastly more complicated. Reply and find out instead of trying to censor.
Overrated is for a post that found it's way to +5 but really only deserves maybe a +2 or +3. Here is the slashdot mod faq. You should read it before the next time you mod.
