Play AAC Files with TiVo Desktop 1.9 via fast LAME
Authored by: gidds on Feb 23, '05 09:12:51AM
Good hint.  But you should be aware that transcoding like this will lose quality.  Not only won't you end up with sound as good as AAC, but you won't even end up with sound as good as if you'd ripped it to MP3 directly.

Of course, the difference probably won't be that great.  lame is about the best encoder, and (especially if you choose one of the VBR modes) does the best it can.  You may well find you can't hear the difference, or that it's not enough to bother you.  But it's worth bearing in mind.
