Apple's website boasted that their format was actually better than CD quality, which reminded me of their earlier claims that the 500mhz G4 tiBook was a “supercomputer.” How can a lossy format be better when the files are ripped from a CD? The main goal of a lossy format is to sound as similar to the uncompressed file as possible, in the smallest footprint possible.


Clearly ogg is the best by a long shot - you must look very hard to see a difference that would suggest aac is better than even mp3.
