Which is better wma or aac

I heard that iTunes 7. I know this is a long post and my language isn't too good but I'll be glad if someone will read it and not flame me. I'm just a little girl Quote from: kissandswallow on So you're saying that I should leave alone those MP3s and don't bother to convert them, normalize their bitrate etc.?

And if yes, when downloading any CD in MP3 when it's available choose k bitrate? Quote from: weirving on Even Microsoft's new Zune media player to be released by the end of will support AAC audio files. Microsoft's Zune player will playback standard encoded AAC. The fact that Microsoft is supporting standard AAC. Quote from: pepoluan on All this was some time ago.

A lot of software is available online that can be used. So, which audio format must one use? Motion Picture Experts Group. Apple Lossless Audio Codec.

Audio Interchange File Format. Related stories. Musk takes sides in battle in Apple-Epic Games row Apple doubles down on promoting local music in India Apple releases iOS Apple registers stellar growth in Q3 in India Apple beats sales expectations on iPhone, services.

So, for archival purposes, we recommend FLAC. However, you can use any lossless format you want, since you can convert between lossless formats without changing the quality of the file. The bottom line? Don't stress out about it.

Just make sure you're using something widely compatible, don't convert between two lossy formats, and just enjoy the music! After my original Droid had trouble with AAC, I went back and re-ripped ALL of my music in MP3 format, so with the exception of a few iTunes exclusives, pretty much everything I own is MP3—though I have lots of FLAC backed up on my server for futureproofing, not to mention the occasional re-edit of a track that has a really annoying intro or something like that.

It is an audio file format commonly used to store uncompressed audio. It belongs to the RIFF family of file formats. The information about sample rate, number of channels, and bit depth is part of the WAV file header or fmt sub-chunk , to be precise. It supports any value that fits within the number of bits allocated for these parameters.

It is popular among audio professionals because it is as close to the original recorded audio as it can get. It is widely supported in professional audio editing software and media players. It is not suited for consumer or end-user applications due to the large data sizes. It was intended to be a competitor to the more widely supported codecs that we discussed above. They include Windows Media Player of course!
