   It's part of HE-AAC, which had a lot of research go into hiding extreme   
   digital losses.  It's a smoke and mirrors trick, except for your ears.   
   If you hear the music for the first time with HE-AAC it sounds passable.   
   If you hear the lossless version first then HE-AAC, it's obvious that   
   it's not right.
