QuickTime 6 supports AAC, and the upcoming iPod firmware update will support it as well. I was told this by an Apple rep last week

As for Ogg, I was told "we're looking into adding it"

How is AAC compared to mp3 anyway, or was this answered in some other thread... they were comparing 128k AAC to lossless during the keynote (no difference heard by them and the audience in their setup I presume)...

You know, I've been hearing all these great things about AAC... but then today I saw a comparison between MP3, MP3 Pro, AAC, Ogg, and a couple others, and AAC didn't do too well

just wondering: does anyone use their ipod to store uncompressed wavs?

If the ipod ever got Monkey's Audio or shorten. . . now that would be nice.

MacDef,

How do you encode AAC / MP4?

I don't think itunes 3.0 does it. Are they reupdating it again, or do I need to buy QT 6 Pro?

Seems like if the iPod plays aac, then itunes should encode it. If it doesn't, it's going to be a pain in the butt.

iTunes doesn't encode aac. I think it only plays it.

MacDEF - Where's the comparison you read?

As of right now, you have to use a freeware AAC encoder. But with QuickTime 6 iTunes can play it. My guess is that the next .01 revision of iTunes will have the encoder, but that's just a guess.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find it anywhere. I've looked everywhere
