Originally posted by mtaylor459 Yeah, I dont know. On iTunes you can usually get the whole album cheaper than buying each song individually. But on Beatport a 12 track album costs $17.88 (1.49 x 12) compared to iTunes may sell the same album for $9.99. Im not sure how iTunes manages to only charge $.99 per song for that quality if what you said was true with those equalities.

Yeah I don't think that a 128 Kbps AAC = 320 kbps MP3 like I said. There would be a noticeable difference in quality between a 192 kbps AAC and a 320 kbps MP3, like what was found on Beatport. AAC (MP4) is really just a newer and better compression technique that makes files smaller, and I don't think they make 320 kbps MP4s, the most i've seen is 192 kbps MP4s, though I think the new files on ITunes Plus will be 256 kbps.
