A perl script to rip and normalize songs for iTunes
Authored by: T0b1 on Feb 21, '07 07:40:08PM
Its correct that AAC is better than mp3, but then again audio experts (producers, musicians, codec programmers, classic musicians, etc.) tried to discern copy and original on 128 bit mp3 with the german magazine CT under lab conditions ... most could tell a difference, but then again some could not could tell which was the original and which was the mp3 - on 256 / 196vbr there is no evidence that anybody can differentiate CD from mp3 anymore.
The only one which could hear / differentiate more than the other participants had a hearing disorder (on a certain frequency), so perhaps you should get your hearing tested.

If you prefer MP3 or cannot distinguish the difference, then use --data mp3. You may be interested to test the musicality differences yourself if you have access to a high quality system. Without getting ito a format war, this page is consistent with my own observations.
