3 unusual facts about AAC


Lafesta

Lafesta was the first station that adopted the AACV2+ codec, that produce high fidelity, while still minimizing bandwidth consumption.

Mp3TrueEdit

mp3TrueEdit is a software application for Mac OS X and Windows that allows users to edit 'lossy' compressed MP3 and AAC audio files without decompressing and re-compressing the audio information and hence maintains the original sound quality.

Sound quality

If additional compression is required, lossy audio compression such as MP3, Ogg Vorbis or AAC can be used.


ADIF

Audio Data Interchange Format, a file format to exchange Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) data

Advanced Audio Coding

AAC supports inclusion of 48 full-bandwidth (up to 96 kHz) audio channels in one stream plus 16 low frequency effects (LFE, limited to 120 Hz) channels, up to 16 "coupling" or dialog channels, and up to 16 data streams.

AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts

In addition to grants from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and other entities, AAC diversifies its funding through fundraising events including the annual AIDS Walk, Boston's second largest walk, and ARTcetera, a biennial art auction that features art from acclaimed artists such as Mr. Brainwash, Ryan McGinley, Mitch Weiss, Harold Eugene Edgerton.

Decoding MP2 audio is computationally simple, relative to MP3, AAC, etc.

MPEG-4 SLS

MPEG-4 SLS allows for having both a lossy layer and a lossless correction layer similar to Wavpack Hybrid, OptimFROG DualStream and DTS-HD Master Audio, allowing for backwards compatibility to MPEG AAC-compliant bitstreams.

Odyssey Through O2

However this issue is minor because anyone today can play their CD audio music elsewhere as some digital copies (MP3, AAC etc..) or other recordings on an other place.
