Hello, all!
I am looking at purchasing the soundtrack of a music I just saw recently (specifically, Frozen). As I don't really have that much of a music collection tied to iTunes, Amazon, or Google, I am currently trying to decide between them.
It looks like iTunes is the only one that offers AAC, but it's 256kbps, whereas Google offers MP3 at 320kbps... And lastly, Amazon offers there's at 256kbps MP3.
Which of these is the higher quality, between iTunes and Google? A while back I believe I read that AAC at a lower bitrate was equal to MP3 at a higher one, but am unsure.
The reason I am considering Amazon is that for only $3 more than the digital album, I could get it on CD... What format is usually on the CDs? Is this lossless?
Which would you recommend?
Thanks!
