Hi Everyone-

Do any of the music services (other than aomp3) offer AAC encoding?

Thanks,

Apart from allofmp3, I do not think any offer any sort of alternative encoding, you just get the one option (mp3) (hope I am right in saying this, I have not used all the alternative sites).
There is of course the i-tunes store if you want low quality, expensive AAC encoding,

And using iTunes you also get the evil twin of Satan: DRM (Except for EMI stuff, that is )

P.S. None of the angry little heads are in any way directed at you, Dave

Actually, AAC is superior to MP3 under 192.

I have absolutely no problem with AAC; everything I download from alltunes is AAC (minimum of 240kbps VBR) because I have been told it's better (and I love my i-pod). It's paying CD prices for 128kbps which I do not like,
