ERLANGEN, Germany–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Offering music encoding with quality beyond CDs and at the same time, iPod^® compatibility, the HD-AAC^® codec enables a new way of storing and distributing music. Based on the MPEG-4 SLS standard, Fraunhofer’s HD-AAC provides future-proof, lossless compression of 24-bit quality music content.

Today’s Audio-CDs store uncompressed music in 16-bit, 44.1 kHz quality, while most music is now produced in the improved 24 bit, 96 kHz format. HD-AAC is making this new standard efficiently available to consumers, electronic music distribution and the consumer electronics industry.

“Consumers will be able to buy content in online music stores that sounds better than CDs, and preserve their existing CD collection for the future by encoding it in HD-AAC”, says Harald Popp, head of the Multimedia Realtime Systems department at Fraunhofer IIS. “For casual listening, HD-AAC files conveniently play on existing AAC devices.”
