Actually, just to clarify, the "That do you?" bit was in the same tone as your comment. The rest was cut'n'pasted from the article. It was also a valid comment. You have a tendency not to accept evidence that other people would, so it was actually a genuine question. I assume you are now happy that there are non-Apple devices capable of playing AAC files. To the best of my knowledge it's only Apple devices that can play AAC files protected with Apple's Fairplay DRM. I think a few have tried to circumvent this but I could be wrong.

If you buy a non-iPod "mp3 player" these days you have more chance of it supporting AAC than not. Almost all car stereos do. Many TVs do. Most MP3-capable home stereos do, I expect, as well as most software players. Even the Zune does. These days it's more widely supported than WMA. How times change (for the better). -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm

I wasn't, but if you're heading down this route then there's not much point continuing the discussion. All I'll say is that I avoided telling you to "type aac into the google search box and select the first result" as you'd dismiss it as sneering; however, I do recommend doing that before you continue making statements about the subject. -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm

I'm currently plowing my way through Gatchaman (or Kagaku Ninjatai Gatchaman [Science Ninja Team Gatchaman]). If you remember Battle of the Planets, it's that, in the original Japanese, uncut, with no sodding 7-Zark-7. It's...quite good. Actually it's bloody brilliant. BotP had all the violence cut out of it. Gatchaman doesn't.
