aac and ogg playback
JonathanHull:
Yeah. I can't really tell the difference past about 6 or 7, but I just rip everything at q8 anyway, just because I want to. I only have 1 album in q9. Now when it comes to q10 you might as well be using FLAC (which I admit I have a few albums in FLAC).

I totally agree, q10 ogg is wasting huge amounts of file system space, I would rather have something lossless.
I do think there are good arguments for a Lossless collection (ie, you have a lot of hard drive space and/or want a lossless backup of your music for transcoding or future CD difficulties). But that is going way off the topic by now.

All my Q8 rips play fine on iRiver 1xx and iaudio X5. No skipping whatsoever.
Yes, Q8 is overkill (Q6 and higher is totally transparent to me) but since I want these rips to last a while without having to re-encode I go a little extra just in case I get better audio equipment down the line that might reveal artifacts I can't hear now.

All my +Q3 Ogg's play fine but when I'm playing at low bitrate (35/45kbps) my X5 has a hard time.
Pcm Buffering is a problem (fully boosted at 100% all the time) and reading from the harddrive causes skipping/gaps and to fill the codec buffer can sometimes take more than a minute.
When playing higher (lets say around 60/80kbps) the cpu acts normal and the skipping is gone.
Davide-NYC:
Why not run some tests on your platform and find out what codec work for your platform and how well?

Oh yeah, please post your results when done.
