To have higher quality, you need to record right off a RAW Audio source or an AIFF/uncompressed wave.  All these new formats are garbage, I just stick to MP3, which is the universal format.

Are you for real?
A song thats compressed to 320kbps versus 128kbps obviously the quality of the 320 is better. What this format is doing is saving you space yet still having retaining the same quality. Like I said in my previous posts "a 96kbps song in m4a is supposed to be equivalent to 128kbps in mp3". I dunno about you, but to me saving say 400 megs on my 4 gig ipod is quite a bit and if you transferd that to your computer say 6 gigs saved from 25gigs worth of music thats quite a bit too. This technoligy isn't bullshit its by far the future and if one of the largest music stores in the world (Itunes) is using it for all there music...........well then I guess the technoligy must be crap. I stated in my posts also that you dont gain better quality from converting to M4a from mp3. but you can save space.
