Has the iTunes AAC encoder changed recently?

Has the iTunes AAC encoder changed recently?, specifically between version 7.0.2.16 and the current 7.3.4

I don't want to upgrade if the current version of the encoder has some bad tweaks in it. Moderation: Fixed typo in topic. ACC -> AAC. To help future searches.

It might be built into Leopard (though I thought iTunes was part of iLife) but I am not sure. Last time they did something like this, it took Apple about a week to come out with Windows downloads. That was around the time Panther was released, it took them about a week or so to come out with Windows equivalents.

That was around the time Panther was released, it took them about a week or so to come out with Windows equivalents. Guarantee there will be a new version of iTunes and QuickTime released in the next week...maybe even by Friday. QuickTime obviously due to the reported encoder updates. iTunes will probably get a minor update just with any last minute Leopard-specific fixes. Apple always keeps the Mac and Windows versions in sync (unless there is a specific Mac or Windows fix that only applies to 1 platform)...I doubt they will stop now. So expect those who have earlier OS X versions or Windows to get an update as well. I'll let you guys know when I get Leopard on Friday what version of QuickTime comes with it and see if I can find anything interesting... -------------------- iTunes 10 - Mac OS X 10.6 256kbps AAC VBR iPhone 4 32GB
