Format description
AAC files are audio files using Advanced Audio Coding compression. AAC is a lossy format, meaning the audio quality remains almost the same as the original source. The slight loss leads to the audio files taking up less space, which makes them ideal for music streaming or when bandwidth is limited. AAC is superior to MP3 for handling frequencies above 16 kHz. The encoding efficiency for transient and stationary signals is also better when compared to MP3.| File extension | .mp3 |
