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. |

Personally, i'd say stick with what you know and trust. I used to be occasionally tempted to re-encode to Vorbis or, only possibly, AAC. What stopped me is... why bother? MP3 is, as Wikipedia states "the de facto standard" for digital music. Thanks to the LAME devs, MP3 continues to be the most popular format after all these years. Another thing to consider is that in a few years, all the patents will have expired on MP3. There's every chance that at that time, even your toaster will be "MP3 compatible"!
