And by "or more" I mean later releases don't seem to affect the setting that most people use (0.5) judging by the release notes.

So I guess it's safe to just use itunes aac? They seem to regularly update

I don't think you will hear much difference but yes, Apple AAC encoder has been proven to be the best AAC LC encoder.

You know you don't have to use iTunes to convert using Apple's libraries right?

You can also use Fraunhofer's libraries:

Ah so they moved  Nevertheless it looks Nero aac's development ended. Not so big hurt however since we have Apple's encoder...
