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. |

the answer is yes.
I moved years ago and I haven't regretted it. Also, the AAC codec is under active development by apple, while LAME is pretty much glacial in its development. |

Latest LAME release: v3.99 (October 2011) Not sure why you think that.
