I encoded 12 files in the default AAC bitrate of "160", whatever that was, in Audacity. I didn't notice much of a problem in most cases until it came to Mortality by Tulou, where the samples are rather harsh and scratchy, and compared to the original WAV, it was like night and day: certain sounds were crisp and clear in the WAV, but "muddy" and distorted in the AAC.
I don't even know if the highest rate AAC bitrate would prevent those problems, but AAC is lossy, and just for once, I wanted to try a lossless codec like FLAC.
