AAC vs ATRAC vs MP3

[mrapoc]

Which would be best to rip music to the PS3 with? I dont want songs 40mb each so really I'm after the best balance between size/quality. I usually do 192kbps MP3 on my pc but i've never delved into other formats.

What you reckon?

Whatever you rip to you'll get loss. I use MP3 mainly

Ive got songs that are in acc and mp3 which I cant tell the differnce between.

Try importing one song in each format and see if you can tell theres a differnce if not then go for mp3 as suggested.:worship:

Stick with MP3. Most logical.

Why are you putting music on the PS3? PC plays it just fine?

.wav is lossless

and .wma in 470 - 940kbps is aparantly mathamatically lossless acording to wmp

Does AAC or ATRAC have any positives over mp3 is what im gettin at

 

[ai_01]

wav format is best in raw format.

i personally use mp3 in high format

256 kbps, 44100 for sample rate (also helps when burning if you convert to .wav when you burn to a CD) and Stereo.

If its not music(speaker/podcast or other) i use this for space for my mp3 player:

24kbps 11025 sample and mono

Whenever you convert you always lose quality, I say stick to one format if you can. AAC or ATRAC does not have that many benefits its just less used, personally I think AAC is better (for sound quality only but its minimal from a high rate mp3) but mp3 h/e theres more uses for mp3, hence why i use i high kbps. But if i were you i would not convert your already mp3's to AAC or vise versa unless you really want to.
