General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

A step in the right direction...

... but it's dismaying to read in the Apple press release that

"DRM-free tracks from EMI will be offered at higher quality 256 kbps AAC encoding, resulting in audio quality indistinguishable from the original recording [sic]..."

The EMI press release is more ambiguous, stating:

"From today, EMI's retailers will be offered downloads of tracks and albums in the DRM-free audio format of their choice in a variety of bit rates up to CD quality."

I'm afraid that may mean nothing more than the same 256 kbps lossy tracks offered by Apple. Alas.
