It's a wording thing, and then some
To continue from the problem reported in #Biased? above, the issue with this article is that it was written by and for someone who is a total digital audio geek. I mean nothing denigrating by that characterization, and am glad an expert is on hand, somewhere... But this prose is so techno-geeky it even makes me look like like a dirt farmer who marvels at internal combustion engines. As just one example - and one could be made of almost every sentence in this article - try this one: "The signal is converted from time-domain to frequency-domain using forward modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT). This is done by using filter ` that take an appropriate number of time samples and convert them to frequency samples." Now, this counter example will be full of redlinks, because I don't fully understand this stuff myself and feel lost despite being a professional Web developer and *n*x nrrrd for two decades. It's just a suggestion, for the general direction to push the article. Here's my rough-draft take: ""The signal is converted from time-domain to frequency-domain using forward modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT). This is done by using filter banks that take an appropriate number of time samples and convert them to frequency samples." A place to start. Or more like restart. My first draft of this looked more like "...forward modified discrete cosine transform", which may not even be linking to articles that are genuinely relevant. The only reason this wasn't a sea of all-red links (to pages that arguably should at least exist as redirects) was that "MDCT" , a parenthetical acronym that easily could have been omitted, seemed to suggest, as an afterthought, a concept that might exist as article itself, separate from Discretion (mathematics), and so on. Blind luck, really. Look, if your mom (and mine) cannot understand this article, we're making a mistake. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ Contribs. 20:11, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
iTunes
I would like to see the iTunes icon removed. I don't see what bearing it has to the AAC format. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.164.42.9 (talk) 15:24, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
