Would someone like to throw more lite on MP4 and MP3pro.. coz though have heard of them... no idea of pros and cons...

Ogg, MP3

mp4 provides same quality as mp3 but at lower bitrates, due to higher compression while still maintaining good quality

the best & legal way to convert mp3 to mp4 is with itunes, only if U chose not to DRM Protect it, so that it can be played in other media players

other methods are

1) Nero Digital : Convert from mp3 to Nero Digital mp4 with Nero CD burner
2) Quicktime Pro mp3->wave->mp4

it is said that a 64 kbps MP4 provides quality comparable to a 128 kbps mp3, although this is subjective, for me 96 kbps provides quality like a 128 kbps mp3, although I use 128 Kbps which provides quality comparable to 192 kbps mp3

AAC gives me the best quality, but I have to write audio CDs only through winamp. Also, my car audio doesn't play AAC so I'm stuck with Mp3's..

But for all my pc listening purposes, AAC at 320kbps
