mp3 vs AAC+

What are the differences between an MP3 and AAC+ stream

The MPEG Layer 3 audio standard, more commonly known as mp3, was made public for the first time in 1993. In 1997, the AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) format appeared, then AAC + (also called HEAAC), finally replaced by a final version called HEAACv2.

AAC was chosen by Apple for its iPod, iPhone, iPad and iTunes, as well as by Sony. The HEAAC codec has also been adopted for 3G mobile telephony and DTT.

Our verdict

We recommend using AAC+ rather than MP3, because the algorithm used is better than that of MP3, which results in smaller files with better quality, while requiring fewer resources for encoding or decoding. AAC+ also allows compression at 32kbps, 48kbps, 64kbps, 96kbps, 128kbps, 192kbps and more.
