:::::::::::: Starting 1rst April MAE represented by Zebralution in the iTunes stores at an improved quality (256kb).  The MAE Partner Zebralution and his technical team has been preparing for this step for a considerable time, so that the delivery of new releases already fits the iTunes specifications for the new service. Parts of the older back catalogue are now being  redelivered in the new format. How much time the transformation into higher quality will take and when all releases will be available as 256kb files, lies in the hands of the Apple technical staff in Cupertino. By the way: a special feature of the new deal is the possibility for all US iPhone owners to purchase self created ringtones from the iTunes Plus repertoire and upload those on their iPhone. This is part of the agreement and can’t be separately enabled or disabled. :::::::::::
