Personally I have no interest in AAC or even the iTunes store. AAC is
DRM-ware, and I like having my audio collection live outside what the RIAA
says is an acceptable format for playback. Portability and quality (go
LAME!) are my biggest concerns, not being able to easily buy .99 songs in
iTunes. I think most interest in AAC right now is just part of that
reality-distortion field Steve puts out whenever he announces a new
product. Expect interest to die down in a month or two.
Besides, I'm still waiting for MP3 support for ms.pinky, and I have a
feeling she won't be supporting AAC (or Ogg) anytime soon.
cheers
