    Great quality and speed encoder, especially useful in education purposes.
  • daedheadap9 Posted 2018-03-01
    At higher bitrates Freeware AAC can exceed the quality of Apple's encoder. I've needed this for quite some time.

    FAAC is the best MP3 encoder for me. Beats other versions, in my opinion.
