I doubt you can go wrong with AAC, but I still prefer something
ubiquitous like MP3 or avoid proprietary formats altogether with OGG or
FLAC. At times, I've had my music library or parts of it on phones
running symbian, Android, Windows Mobile and Windows Phone. I've had it
on portable media players from Creative and Sansa or running the Rockbox
firmware. I own a Booksense. I've used media players on Windows and
Linux. I believe AAC will give you better sound quality in a smaller
footprint, but between my aging ears and the portable media players I
use, MP3 and OGG are plenty good enough for me. I also have been
fortunate that the extra space savings gained by using AAC over MP3 has
never come into play. If you're going to be ripping your music with
iTunes and you'll mostly be using Apple products or newer media players
then I think AAC is the way to go. If you're worried about portability
or using a proprietary format than MP3 or OGG would be good options.
There are also lossless options like FLAC, and I think there's a
lossless flavor of AAC as well.

My stereo and radio shack boombox are comparatively old, so prefer to be on
the safe side by using MP3 for when I burn music.

I couldn’t disagree more. Maybe that would have held wait 4 years ago when
music bought from iTunes was DMA protected, or further back before iTunes was
the number 1 seller for music in the world but now? No way.
What major digital music player, or software doesn’t play AAC? I mean, Android
plays AAC, Windows phone plays AAC, blackberry plays AAC, windows media player,
and on and on. So, how exactly does using AAC lock you into using 1 company’s
products to play music?

I use mp3 rather than Apple aac because aac locks us forever into using Apple
products to play the music. I know it is heresy to even think of going with any
other company...

Hi,
I think ripping music with iTunes is fairly painless. I usually use AAC at 128
or 256kbps. Smaller file size for same kbps when compared to using mp3 I’ve
found.
