| jrwren | you realize AAC has nothing to do with apple, right? | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| jrwren | just like AVC aka h264 is advanced vido codec, AAC is Advanced Audio Coding. | 00:03 |
| jrwren | mp3 is mpeg1 layer3 audio. AAC is MPEG-2 Part 7. | 00:03 |
| jrwren | and later MPEG-4 Part 3 | 00:04 |
| jrwren | it was literally designed to replace mp3. | 00:05 |
| cmaloney | I didn't know that | 00:24 |
| cmaloney | but it also seems that Apple is the primary platform that uses it | 00:24 |
| cmaloney | (likely in part because of the patents that are still in effect) | 00:24 |
| jrwren | I dunno if it is true that apple is primary platform that uses it. | 13:11 |
| jrwren | all platforms use it because all mp4 streams use it. | 13:11 |
| jrwren | every major OS and browser supports it. | 13:11 |
| cmaloney | Not saying that it's exclusive, rather that it's the one that I most strongly associate with it | 13:13 |
| cmaloney | (I can be wrong) | 13:14 |
| cmaloney | (it has happened before, much to everyone's surprise and dismay) | 13:14 |
| jrwren | apple seems to promotes it more than others. | 14:09 |
| dzho | I love how Fraunhofer ran a licensing program for mp3 up until the bitter end and then it was "oh, that? yeah, there are better things you can use now [that are still covered by some patents we own] so use that!" | 15:57 |

| jrwren | YUP | 15:58 |
| jrwren | fuck softare patents. | 15:58 |
| cmaloney | no arguments here. ;) | 17:53 |
