First, let me say that I think M3A/MP4/AAC/whateverit'scalled sounds better than WMA.  Unfortunately, I don't rip to it anymore because the only thing that plays it is iTunes.  It doesn't work in my DVD player and it doesn't work in my portable player.  Mac folks, please hold back the flames; you've already let me know that I'm an idiot.  The guy makes some good points.  Follow the link below to read the article.

At least that's what ExtremeTech analyst Jason Cross thinks. In researching an upcoming article on audio file formats (and based on his own attempts to instill order on his music collection), he's come down hard on the whole iTunes/iPod side of digital music.
