Cass.......You state "However, press releases are used more to sell the company's stock than product.

This was a major Marketing ploy to show the number of days their player could be used in addition to songs. Ask MIR what she thinks.
Yesterday Apple unveiled their new music service, “The Apple iTunes Store” with the traditional hype and fanfare. Apple is using the Advanced Audio Codec (AAC) format at 128kbps. There are many articles on the web that detail the many features of this new service, but there has been little focus on the quality of the format Apple is using.
