Practical Tips

• Use 192-256 kbps AAC for transparent quality from WAV sources — most listeners cannot distinguish this from the lossless original.
• Choose HE-AAC at lower bitrates (48-96 kbps) for streaming and voice applications where file size is critical.
• AAC is preferred over MP3 for Apple workflows — iTunes, Apple Music, and iOS all handle AAC natively.

Why AAC instead of MP3?

AAC produces better quality than MP3 at the same bitrate, especially at lower bitrates. It is the default format for Apple devices, YouTube audio, and many streaming services.

Does converting from WAV preserve quality?

AAC is lossy, so some data is discarded. However, at 192+ kbps from a clean WAV source, the result is audibly transparent — indistinguishable from the original in blind tests.
