I think some of the Apple people did.  I came over to Ipad after a full life in Windows and Android, so I used MP3.

I used it when downloading to my ipod.

I use mp3 for my downloads.

I assume they would have some sort of record of how often AAC and MP3 files are downloaded.  Maybe AAC are not downloaded as much, compared to mp3.  It would be one less thing for the brothers to do.  When you think its not just one audio recording, but an recording in many, many languages, these all take time to do and storage space and then double it for both mp3 and aac.  And mp3 is more universal than aac.

I use AAC! It's the best format: Files of smaller size and better quality than MP3. Books are way bettern for iTunes than MP3. So sad for this

My thoughts exactly. AAC is hardly used, and mp3 rules the roost, lol. Every Apple device can play mp3s so it shouldn't matter, ESPECIALLY with regards to mere voice recordings.

 I agree with you. With MP3 it takes much more time to use with iTunes, which I listen to with ipod.
