I've just been messing around with AAC and MP3, and different bitrates. I converted a song to AAC 128kbps, 44,100KhZ(5.2mb), and then the same song to MP3, 160kbps, 44,100KhZ(6.6mb). I also converted it to AAC 160kbps, 44.100KhZ(6.7mb)
I'm not sure if I could hear any difference between them when they were all on the iPod. I read somewhere else that some people think AAC at 160kbps is more musical than MP3. To quote one person : " 160kbps AAC sounds better (more musical was how I defined it) than the 320kbps MP3, half the data rate=half the disc space."
Anyone have any opinions on this? I'm thinking, maybe I should conserve space on the HD and stay at 128kbps AAC? Or 128kbps MP3 ?
