Good points Oxygene.
Amiga does have distinct sound (and no emulation catches 100% nuances of the real thing so sites like paula8364 are worthwhile) and bang for a buck was great in 80s, but it's nowhere near hifi.
As for psychoacoustic-based lossy codecs, they aren't so well tuned for synthetic sound - 100% stereo separation and chiptunes might be problematic. Never did an ABX test though.
Suggesting CBR AAC over VBR is anyway an absurd.
