iTunes, so they're actually better than WMP9. But yeah, their store is AAC
which is somehow related to mpeg4. But I'm not curious enough to bother and
figure out how since I don't use DRM files. Even if, however unlikely, I
were to buy a song from the Apple store I would immediately burn it to CD
and re-rip it to mp3.
But I think there might be a converter to transcode from AAC to something
else. Go Go Googlezilla!
