ACC once and for all!

For the record, in order to get the frequency response I wanted, I had to bump Psytel AAC at least one notch above "normal" VBR, or maybe 2. The bitrates were very comparable to Ogg Q7 or Q8, and since the result sounded no better to me, plus given the lack of 3rd party support and replaygain support, I was very happy I chose Ogg.

Like I said though, everyone is different. If peeps want to use MP3, or AAC, or codec x, thats fine. But when peeps say things like "why are you guys hyping Ogg when AAC is here" you have to remember that most of us have done our homework and many tests, and have chosen to use codec x. If YOU like codec y, wonderful, but don't patronize users of others codecs.
