*is interested*(I'm assuming we're really talking about AAC here, versus 'MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3' aka MP3).
I'm only going on Wikipedia stuff here, but I thought AAC achieved better compression -- ie. better fidelity for a given bit-rate? And that where MP3 introduces very noticeable compression artefacts, AAC distortion is less noticeable? (Err, these two might even be the same thing, perhaps). I'm just going on what I've been told, not what I've heard :-)
'encode in a decent & specific way' -- is this saying that MP3 has more knobs to twiddle? Why would you want that? Answers might be: to generate a specific audio distortion effect; to allow extreme compression (with distortion) but giving you the choice of what part (of the spectrum, I guess?) gets distorted).
Why is AAC bad on Windows?
Sorry for all the questions -- if there's a site or previous discussion that covers this, feel free to just point me at it instead!
Ta!
