hi there,

i encoded a song of tom waits 'poor edward' from wav to aac (tape) and to vorbis q 1.5. both had about 90 kbps. the vorbis file sounded o.k but the aac file had clipping-like distortion. interestingly the beta version of the fast-aac encoder produced a slightly better results. any ideas what i might have done wrong?

that because AAC is optmized to 128-160 bitrate

is a known "fact" that vorbis performance better then aac at <96kbits
