		If there are problems with the SomaFM aacPlus stream, they're due to the general handling of HTTP streaming and/or playlists in the individual players, not in the stream itself.
		After few hours listening to the aacPlus and comparing it to the standard 128k mp3, I can say that the sound of the aacPlus is better.
		The main downside I see to using aacPlus is that it may not be available for as many platforms as MP3 and that there may be issues when it comes to archiving Soma FM streams, which works just fine using MP3.

		Because SBR is a backward and forward compatible method to enhance the efficiency of any audio codec, the company said aacPlus would deliver streaming, as well as download, CD-quality stereo at 48 kbps and excellent quality stereo at 32 kbps.
		Aberdeen Group's Hoch agreed the addition of aacPlus opens up new markets but he cautioned that the wireless sector, particularly in North America, was still not advanced enough to make this a huge breakthrough.
		Even as Coding Technologies has begun deploying aacPlus and licensing libraries and reference source code on Mac OS X, Win32, Linux and multiple DSPs, analysts believe the MPEG-4 standards body still have mountains of hurdles to overcome to realistically pose a challenge to the proprietary encoding formats from Microsoft and RealNetworks.
