I just came across a .aac file format - obviously its comparable to mp3. My question is - I ripped a song in .aac format, at 66kbps. A comparable song in mp3 format at 192kbps sounds almost the same?
Does aac have a higher compression ratio or something? I've never come across this format before.

Never heard of aac, but this situation doesnt suprise me. Mp3 codec dates back to 1987 and is now pipe and slippers. I find WMA and OGG to be considerably better codecs than than Mp3, it just that Mp3 is more common, but in most respects vastly inferior and in my opinion sounds like a telephone quatlity

AAC files are what iTunes can encode, as well as mp3 etc. I've read the a 128kbps AAC is about equivalent to 160kbps mp3. AAC is also known as mp4. From the Apple support website:

I encode all my CDs into 128kbps AAC (using a mac). The quality is good enough for the stereo hardware I have, Not worth the extra storage space, but any mp3 I did was 160kbps. Also this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93012 |
