Depending on the encoder used, AAC generally achieves better sound quality than MP3 at the same bitrate, particularly below 192 kbit/s.

There, for those of you who don't know what AAC is.

I use AAC as audio when I encode video stuff into x264 mp4. As far as my audio collection goes, I use mp3's. In fact I don't think I have any song in my music folder which is AAC.

You nerd! XD (j/k)

Thankies Kino and austin for tell us what AAC is...I was like so dumbfounded about AAC and I know I've seen it somewhere before.

w00t I use an iPod so I don't care. All the stuff I have brought from iTunes is AAC and so are my ripped CDs, though I mostly have MP3. Before when I carried around a Zen Stone (small 1gb iPod Shuffle equivalent), I preferred MP3 because AAC wouldn't work on it...

AAC is a great gener of files, but they doesn't works with a lot of programs and [B]MP3[B] players. So I choose MP3 format.

[slowmoth]

I use FLAC... but I preffer AAC instead of MP3

[darc_aqua]

AAC sounds so much better.

[-Link-]

I sytill use my old 8-Track and Walkman Cassette player, you hooligans nowadays. If we wanted to hear a song we would have to carry tapes in our pockets and rewind them manually. There was no fancy startover button.

dickens be me.

Despite .mp3 having higher sound quality, I like .m4a for the smaller file size so I can fit more songs onto my iPod Mini (yes, I have one of those 'old' ones)...

[Calico]

MP3. The only reason why I even have iTunes is because my Shuffle demanded it so. (And I was not too happy. I have enough music players gah)

In fact I just got finished converting a bunch of AAC files to MP3, and I was whining at somebody because I wasn't in the mood to do it. I use WMP to play music and it doesn't really like AAC.

[Bazaa]

Hm, I don't use AAC at all XD I rip my cds with ogg at 500kbps for my mp3 player, flac for my desktop. But most of my music is in mp3, over 128kbps XD

neither did I LOL

[fanmail]

I use .aac on my iPod, so I get good wuality, less filesizes, which means more room for more songs! everywhere else - MP3.

[Richieooxx]

Mp3. I don't see a major difference.

[Jwiz]

I will convert my AAC songs to Mp3 when i'm transferring songs to anywhere else like my phone etc.

So..mp3 for me.

[Bashumaru]

I use mp3s on my computer but on my cellphone I use ACC because its less space XD, Like for a 4 minute song its 6 megs which is a lot considering my card only has 1 gig , but when I convert to ACC its only 2 megs .

[KuroixShiroi_Namida]

I use AAC since it's small file size and the quality is pretty good. Also my ipod loves AAC XD!
