Cool... but.
Two things: encoding at 128k AAC (apple) and encoding in 128k MP3 (the 'standard') are two totally different things. the AAC codec is much more efficient.. the format can transfer much more audio information (spectrally proven) per k (and obviously per 128k) than MP3. it's not the best codec /compression format out there, but it's way better than mp3. ... and the itunes store samples... sounds more like they are at 96k. ... not that you get enough of the song for most people to really notice the poor quality, but it's definitely different. Any music with a lot of high frequency pitches (cymbals and the like) will quickly reveal the limitations of the lower quality apple itunes samples (really... go listen).
