AAC - Opinions?
The highest quality is uncompressed, .aiff. How many hours are you going
to listen to?

I don't like the 128kb/s AAC files that iTunes sell, I only wish they'd up
the bitrate a bit. Most of the CD's I have imported to iTunes are in 192kb/s
and that I am happy with.

I have an MP3 player capable of playing AAC format as well as MP3. All of
my
music in currently in MP3 format.
Should I convert my MP3 files to a slightly lower bitrate AAC? Is 96kbps
AAC
any good? - because if I converted tracks to that I'd get a lot more on
my
player.
Overall, what are people's opinions of AAC?
AAC is supposed to be a little better than MP3, although it's still a
'lossy' compression.
Why 96kbps? iTunes Music Store uses 128kbps, and having burnt a few to
CD now, I have to say I can't fault the sound quality.
