What's AAC?

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is a standardized, lossy compression and encoding scheme for digital audio, which has been standardized by ISO and IEC, as part of the MPEG-2 & MPEG-4 specifications. The MPEG-2 standard contains several audio coding methods, including the MP3 coding scheme. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves better sound quality than MP3 at many bit rates.

AAC's best known use is as the default audio format of Apple's iPhone, iPod, iTunes, and the format used for all iTunes Store audio. AAC is also the standard audio format for Sony's PlayStation 3 and is supported by Sony's Play station Portable, walkman Phones from Sony Ericsson, Nseries Phones from Nokia, etc.
