The ironic thing is, as I understand it, QT's audio layer is better in sound quality and compression than MP3's. As for the implication of full purchase I was wrong and simply misunderstood the story's wording. I mean it doesn't sound so far off with all the aquisitions Apple has made of late... you'd think it was Microsoft or something!
Oh god, perish the thought... I can't believe I actually said that!!!
I am stating that Apple, according to AppleInsider, has bought the rights to the codec, which is supposedly the best quality one, and has plans to incorperate it.
This is to say that Apple owns the rights to the codec outright, if this is indeed true.
The more accurate URL would be http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/9904/apple-at -nab.shtml . MacNN just refers to the story but on a second look it looks like they simply linked to AppleInsider. If you wish you can search MacNN with the Keyword AppleInsider and it should top your list.
