    128 kbps MP3 vs. 256 kbps AAC (iTunes Music)

    I was wondering if there's much of a difference in audible quality between these 2 formats.

    iTunes bug when expanding the MiniPlayer?

    I have the iTunes MiniPlayer set to always stay on top of all apps. Not sure exactly when it changed, but now, when I click to expand the MiniPlayer when iTunes isn't the active app, iTunes expands but *behind* the active app, which makes no sense. (Obviously, if one clicks to expand the...

    iTunes visualizer not working when using airplay

    So for whatever reason the iTunes visualizer doesn't respond to the music if I'm using airplay over to my airport express. It works if I'm playing the sound out of my iMac. It was working just fine a week ago but now it's not. Has anyone ever encountered this problem?
