Yes. I trust this guy much more than e.g. microsoft claiming wma@64kbps is CD quality, but IMHO some things he says there are subjective/ could be missunderstood. > Q: What does AAC encoding give to the average consumer who is currently using MP3s? Note that this question is about AAC standard, so about its potential IMO, *NOT* about current Nero/Psytel encoders. > A: AAC is developed by same commitee as MP3 ... - it solves many of the issues MP3 had as a standard (like bad stereo coding) Bad stereo coding? From what I know about lame --alt-presets there has been only one sample so far with current aps where joint stereo causes problems. Is he talking about AAC multi channel support? (I don't think so.)
