It appears that MP3 is regarded as a fallback, which for someone who
manipulates audio via a PC via any OS (Mac, Windows, Linux) is a good
thing...certainly less bang for the bandwidth but certainly the most
universal format... am I reading that correctly? I would agree that
AAC+ works the best for audio vs bandwidth, but most of the PC
software I use to manipulate streams would rather work with MP3.
