AAC vs MP3 — Which Should You Use?

If your priority is maximum compatibility across all devices, platforms, and software, MP3 is the better choice. It has been the universal audio standard for decades and is supported everywhere.

If your priority is better quality at smaller file sizes for Apple devices and modern streaming platforms, AAC is the better choice. For most distribution and sharing purposes, MP3 remains the safest and most practical format.
