Group: Members Posts: 5 Joined: 22-December 12 Member No.: 105345	Is FhG AAC encoder bundled with Winamp 5.63 a decent one, or there are better free alternative?.This encoder can achieve a maximum bitrate of 448 kbps on CBR mode and LC profile, but I wonder if it's more efficient than other encoders, as I'm considering switching fro MP3 insane preset encodec with LAME 3.99.5 and re-ripping lossless source into AAC-LC (.m4a) files.Thanks in advance.

Opus is a very good Lossy free format. But it's not fully supported (yet) as ACC is. BTW There no reason to go CBR with AAC it's a Lossy format. You're just wasting space and not gaining any audio quality.
