I have read everywhere that it is better than MP3, but will i be able to notice the difference?
I encode all my files to VBR -V0 and i don't know anything about AAC, what would be the equivalent encoding settings for AAC? Can you people really notice that theyre is a reall difference in quality? I want to test it by myself (encoding always it max quality off course) but first i want to ask here. |

Quick question.
Wikipedia says: QUOTE The MPEG-2 audio tests showed that AAC meets the requirements referred to as "transparent" for the ITU at 128 kbit/s for stereo, and 320 kbit/s for 5.1 audio. Who and when were these tests conducted by/at? How did MP3 score at 128kbps? |

High quality AAC encoder(s) provide(s) high quality at 128 kbps for statistically average lsitener. Some people won't hear the difference already at lower bitrate than that, other will need to rise bitrate. |
