Umm ... I read this news earlier and didn't post about it.

My reaction was: so what? I suspect Apple's will be the same.

Why does this matter? Aside from perhaps being needlessly clever, what is new here? You can already burn a CD full of iTunes and then rip it right back. Voila. You don't even have to leave iTunes to do this.

This seems pointless. Please, please, let's not bicker and argue about the finer points of concatenated codecs. If you are content with playing AAC from your PowerBook, then you are not an audiophile.

Jon Johansen and Bruce Schneier should have lunch. Maybe they could start a project. I'll leave it to Bill Joy to make them stop it.

If ever you find yourself inclined to try QTFairUse, just ask:

What Would Bill Joy Do?
