On 5/1/03 at 6:23 PM, mentholiptus at mac.com (mentholiptus) did send into the ether: > 192k AAC is the sweet spot. 192k AAC is about equal to a 320k mp3. That's what I'd like to see. I rip everything now at 192k in MP3, and was a little disappointed to see that iTunes only allows 128k AAC. I've only ripped one album at that bit rate, and probably need to re-rip the same album at my normal 192k MP3 to see if I can actually tell a difference. Not being an audiophile, I'm not sure I will be. chris
