With normal precautions, however, downloading audio files which end in "aac" or "mp3" (as podcasts typically do) is unlikely to cause much grief.
People typically use multiple AAC methods and may use different methods with different people.
If the purchased songs are regular MP3 files or unrestricted AAC files (which have the.m4a extension), they should work with the Cloud Player.
The other option on the Export Song menu is Send to iTunes, which transfers a copy of the song, as either an AAC audio track or a GarageBand file, back to the computer when you sync up the iPad.
Under normal circumstances, I'd suggest the Roberts Radio Stream93i as being good value at £135.95, but it still seems to be awaiting an update for full radio iPlayer compatibility and DASH support, though the spec says it supports AAC.
Each of the reissues was then encoded into an alphabet soup of file types – FLAC, AAC and MP3 – so that ultimately there were more than 30 options for downloading this one album alone.
But the big vendors prefer their own codecs Microsoft its WM9 (short for Windows-Media-9), Apple, the market leader in online music sales, its AAC, and so on.In DRM, the situation is even more chaotic.
AAC is more efficient and higher fidelity than MP3; a 256 Kbps AAC file preserves more than twice the objective quality of a 128 Kbps MP3 while requiring less than twice the storage.
