ok - tried vlc player on one of my output files
- but vlc says the audio is mp4a at bit rate of 1536k !- this can't be right as I ripped it at either 64k or 128k - don't remember which .
like with gspot, it seems spot on for all the video info but not for the audio
I think I'll resort to putting the audio bit rate into the files name when I rip.
I did look up aac va mp3 quality and I read that aac at 160 is reckoned to be as good as mp3 at 192, but that it is an apple owned, not an open source codec.
