Question 1

Is encoding WAV to AAC better than MP3 to AAC?

Accepted Answer

Yes, encoding from WAV (uncompressed) always produces better results than transcoding from MP3 (already compressed). Starting with uncompressed source audio means the AAC encoder has the full original data to work with.

Question 2

What is the best AAC bitrate for music?

Accepted Answer

256 kbps AAC is considered transparent quality for most listeners, matching the standard used by Apple Music. For spoken content like podcasts, 96-128 kbps AAC provides excellent clarity at very small file sizes.

Question 3

Can I use AAC files on non-Apple devices?

Accepted Answer

Yes, AAC is supported on Android, Windows, and all modern web browsers. While it is closely associated with Apple, AAC is an open standard supported across virtually all modern platforms.
