Well, that’s hard to answer – AAC came out in 1997, 3 years after MP3, and for a long time AAC was mainly associated with Apple – in fact, some people might think it stands for “Apple Audio Codec”, because AAC is the primary format used on iTunes, iPod, etc.
If AAC is better than MP3, why is MP3 more popular than AAC? Furthermore, AAC is the only network broadcast audio format that can achieve an “Excellent” rating for all EBU listening test projects.
MP3 format these days as their preferred “lossy” format, it’s likely because they don’t know any better – AAC ( Advanced Audio Coding) was actually created as a superior lossy format, and is supported on most audio players ( except strictly MP3-only players, but who uses MP3 players in 2018?).ĪAC achieves better sound quality than MP3 at lower bitrates – a 256kbps AAC sounds better than a 320kbps MP3, and this has been tested by numerous engineers.
