qaac cvbr 256 vs lame cbr 320

[nixiejames]

for music, which would you prefer? i'm also interested in knowing which is better in theory.

Probably the qaac but they are both well above placebo territory for 44.1-48khz stereo audio.

i'm guessing you're more into lame vbr -V options. actually, i'm already content with mp3s cbr 128 but i like letting my friends hear my music so what they will hear is also my concern. most of them use itunes and i've read that songs from itunes plus are roughly aac cvbr 256. when it comes to mp3, cbr 320 is best on paper. and so i'm comparing the two.
