To you at least. :)
I can hear the compression artifacts in any MP3 or AAC bitrate (even
320). Too many years of music training, I suppose. Makes it a nightmare
to listen to off-key vocals (though tuned vocals drive me even crazier
:D), lazy drummers ("OMG! These hi-hat 16ths are too fast! I'd best
slow down the entire band for this section of the song!"), etc.
Suffice it to say that there really are only two safe recommendations
us users can make to one another: 1. keep a losslessly-compressed copy
of your sources somewhere so you can recompress at will. 2. Use
whatever lossy format/rate works for _your_ears_.
Back to AAC for a moment: Bring on the FF/RW! I've just started with
Squeezcenter recently and haven't yet done all my various transcoding
to work with it best. In the meantime, I'd love to be able to seek
within my AAC files.
