i don't think there's anything technically stopping them from making a release that meets the apple digital master standards and then also releasing it elsewhere?
from reading the documentation, it seems like all it means is that a high bit depth/sample rate master was provided to itunes (and optionally that the person doing the mastering tested what it sounded like using apple's fancy floating point aac encoder)
somenath1435 joined the channel
apple make a big deal about how they use a fancy sample rate converter that doesn't alias (which means it has a lowpass filter integrated, like most do nowadays ...) and that their sample rate converter and aac encoder operate on 32bit float, but that's a technical encoding difference rather than a mastering change that actually affects how the audio sounds
SothoTalKer
but its lossy, isnt it? :p
kepstin
yes
they provide some tools to help the mastering engineer make sure the lossy encode doesn't clip when decoded
which is kinda nice i guess

darwin
aren't most bandcamp wavs 32bit?
kepstin
on bandcamp, it's whatever the artist submitted
so it really varies
kepstin bought one bandcamp release where one of the tracks was a different sample rate from the others, which was kinda weird
darwin
lol wut
kepstin
i guess the artist had just worked on that track separately from the others and didn't export it with the same settings.
nothing really wrong with that
(it did mess up the old "metaflac" tool for calculating album replaygain - that breaks if sample rate doesn't match in all tracks)
