I have a SE Z550i, just wanted to know that since it supports aac , does this format has any difference in comparison over mp3's. Can anyone also suggest me a free and small software 4 coverting mp3 to aac?


THANKS!

^^ Indeed. AAC is far better than MP3. It takes less space and with gr8 quality. ;)
U can use iTunes to convert MP3/Wav files into AAC.

most ppl wud haf nero suite installed. u can use the nero encoder to encode files from mp3 too m4a (aac). i use a bit rate of 64kbps and it gives me a good balance between quality and size......

aac/mp4.. far better... if u've Nero 6.5+... u can directly encode or rip with it using it's inbuilt converter... via Nero StartSmart
I always use that.

Just user nero encoder or Quicktime or iTunes to convert your mp3 to first wave & then from wave to mp4.

For transparent audio quality use 128kbps mp4/aac

64kbps mp4 gives quality equivalent to 128kbps mp3. However the quality also depends on your choice, so try both.

I use ACC on my K800i. Its quality is better than MP3. And I use iTunes to convet them.

As you can see I'm not saying anything new. Just added another vote for ACC. Go for ACC and see the difference.

iTunes is very easy and provide excellent quality. Here is the procedure to convert MP3/Wav files into aac/m4a :

1. Open the .MP3/Wav file in iTunes ( File -> Add file to library )
2. Now goto: Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Importing and select AAC Encoder in the Import Using drop-down box! ( Here u can also set the Bitrates, etc accordoing to ur requirements), then click on OK.
3. Now right-click on the .MP3/Wav file and select Convert Selection to AAC.

Thats It. :)

Thanx vishal! and to all of u 4 ur suggestion, I think NERO'S encoder is a bit faster and I figured out how to use it.

What is best quality-size balanced bitrate in AAC. Like 128 kbps is standard for mp3. I use w610i.

64kbps is sufficent. u may try 64, 80, 96kbps and choose the best one that suits you.

I have K750i. It does not play AAC files. But it plays mp4 files. What is the difference between MP4 and AAC?
