AACplus/HE-AAC playback on Ipod 5G Video
Llorean:
At 96kbps, Ogg/Vorbis should probably be a good choice. That actually seems to be one of the popular encoding bitrates for it, I believe.

I don't care one-way or another about the format "wars", and won't even bother taking a side.
The one point I feel is critical in this discussion, though, is that encoder maturity is very important:
See LAME vs (just about any other)
See AoTuV vs Xiph
and can make up much ground for the "technically inferior" codec (at least) until the newer one matures. (If it ever does, history is littered with codecs which never caught on, regardless of merits.)

@Llorean: But see... I have to stick to what the iPod natively supports, since I have a Nano 2G. And if I do end up getting the 5G Video, I can use something like VBR MP3 (to save on processor usage, thus battery usage). On my computer I keep all my music stored as MP3 VBR ~200 kbps (a good balance since I only have about 260 GB of hard drive space to work with for music storage).
Llorean:
Is there some rule that says you have to use the same format on your 2nd Generation Nano, as on your 5G iPod?
By the way, Ogg/Vorbis runs faster at most bitrates (especially the 'transparent' range ones) on iPod than MP3 does at the moment (at least according to the last test_codec runs made).
As this is the Rockbox forum, I'm of course only talking about what you should run on a player running Rockbox, and NO discussion should be happening regarding things not related to Rockbox.
Gamesoul Master:
LMAO... a full page and some extra of this thread was completely unrelated to Rockbox. But I see your point... and in that light, I'll definitely consider OGG for if/when I get the 5G Video.
Your first statement... sort-of eludes me. I was saying I'd use AAC for my Nano because it's the best format for my music at lower bitrates, and MP3 on the 5G Video for faster decoding times. But since I keep forgetting to consider OGG (that's from years of ignoring it), your testimony is enough for me to take a closer look into it.
