The AAC format may have some affect on battery life to the good, less disk
activity means power saved, this can accumilate. I personally think the
benefit may be a little overstated by Apple, the battery life of the iPods
not being the best but perfectly usable nonetheless.
Apple and other download stores do actually have the right to retail music
downloads, costs ranging from about 74p to 99p per track. One of the
complaints consumers have made in the wake of the download revolution is a
technical means of mixing and matching tracks rather than having to buy
whole expensive albums just for the one or two tracks you want. Now that
such mechanism are in existence and beginning to develop there will be tbose
who are still not happy, but a growing number fortunately seem not be averse
to this form of commerce and the bottom line is there are no free lunches.

Apple report several hours difference in battery life if you use non AAK

Peter thinks.
Hmm, very suspect is this. I honestly can't see why there would be a battery
life difference if you prefer mp3 over aac.
Could there be, oh, I don't know, a bottom line, monitory reason for such a
statement, given that Apple sell aac files on their music for 99p download
site? I'd be shocked if anyone actually fell for this one. Smiles
