Question question about bitrates, filesizes, fidelity

importing a CD to iTunes.

AAC on iTunes Plus setting (128kbps mono, 256kbps stereo)

vs

MP3 at 328 kbps


will the differences in fidelity be noticeable to non-anal normal people? will the file size w/ AAC be significantly lower?

if there's a resource for this crap, would be happy if you pointed me there

doing some travel, have limited space on my iphone, want to put the MCIS reissues on there

thanks for the help

alternatively you could spring for itunes match, which will let you stream your itunes library (as 256kb/s aac) from the iphone music app

i have a 16gb iphone, so i use this and rdio. they work great, even over 3g

I am super anal about this sort of thing but to be perfectly honest with you, when it's ripped directly from a CD or converted from a lossless source, 256kbps sounds fine to me. Just make sure you don't convert it to anything else after that because the quality of each subsequent conversion will begin to severely deteriorate.

I don't know about file size, but you could always just rip it twice, see which format takes less space, and delete the larger one.

256 is less than 328. what really matters is whether there's a discernible sound quality delta at the same bit rate (if there isn't, it doesn't matter which format you pick)

i'm trying to focus on sound quality, but i'm no audiophobe. i honestly don't hear a difference from anything from 192kbps and up. my cdex standard preset is 224 cbr.

my default setting for mp3s is lame v0.
i am, however, a bit of an audiophobe. some audio can scare the shit out of me. especially LOUD NOISES!
