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.

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.  |

You're just wasting space and not gaining any audio quality. Hehe, I expected to read that.But due to plenty of hard disk storage and maybe a bit of pareidolia (I want to believe it sounds better even if actually doesn't), I think I'll be sticking with CBR.But reconverting my CDs and FLAC to AAC is advisable, or am I probably wasting my time?I don't think I'll hear a noticeable difference between MP3 @ 320 kbps and AAC @ 448 kbps with the headphone I have (Sony MDR-V55), but maybe it's time to change and adopt a newer and more efficient compressing technology.Thanks for the answers, I'll keep using Winamp FhG AAC encoder, at least I have everything I need in one single application.
