From: Apple iTunes - Mastered for iTunes

I do not care about higher resolution, but if Apple starts selling lossless, I am going switch from buying CDs to iTunes completely.

Split: Apple developing new format for “high definition”/“adaptive streaming”


Both news are two sides of the same coin, I consider the second article as very credible and both could be discussed in context of each other. I do see the benefit a split, though.

Why the split? Both news are two sides of the same coin

The topics aren’t as similar as you are implying. This is about Apple’s ideas about how one should master tracks destined to be encoded in an existing format. The other thread is about their new format.

Additionally, the latter was brought up by someone in a newly made thread; it made more sense to split the posts from this thread and merge it with that one, rather than to shove everything in here where it doesn’t really belong or to leave the discussion in several disparate pieces.

Now there are dedicated threads for each. And I was under no obligation to explain my reasoning, but there you go.

Edit: I didn’t see your edit till after submitting my reply. I’m adding a quote of your original wording (AFAIR) to which I was replying. I wonder if the benefit you now see is in line with what I wrote above! Note that it wasn’t me who Binned these posts, presumably for ToS #7; I’ve moved them back here in order to add this, but I’m not bothered what anyone else does with them subsequently.
