Mastered for iTunes
This link is to a PDF from Apple. Read it and I think you will agree that this is good news for hi rez music lovers. With increased bandwidth and cheap storage, Apple may be getting ready to stream in HD 96/24 . At least, we can hope...

I just read an article that says Apple may be embracing "adaptive streaming", meaning that if you have the bandwidth, voila, your iTunes will stream in HD:
A source with inside knowledge of the process says Apple has asked a London studio to prepare audio files for a new streaming format that will adapt to bandwidth or hardware capabilities.
"All of a sudden, all your audio from iTunes is in HD rather than AAC. Users wouldn't have to touch a thing – their library will improve in an instant," said the source, who requested to remain anonymous.

Jim, what I got from a brief scan of the article is that 256kbps AAC is still the highest resolution you can download from iTunes, but they recommend mastering the original recording in 96/24 nonetheless.
