AAC

AAC, or Advanced Audio Coding, is an encoding scheme for digital audio. It was created in 1997 as a successor to the popular MP3 format. Like MP3, it allows music and audio to be compressed into smaller files, but can achieve more compression - that is, create smaller files - than MP3 with less loss in sound quality.

Music purchased from the iTunes Store is delivered in AAC format, which can be played on Apple iPod and iPhone devices as well as some others, depending on whether they are encumbered by DRM. Non-DRM AAC files can be played on all computers with the appropriate software - such as iTunes and Windows Media Player - as well as a variety of portable audio players, mobile phones, and other devices.
