I think q 1.0 is abit overkill IMO. Here is a few ABX examples: Nero AAC vs LAME Mp3foo_abx 1.3.3 report foobar2000 v0.9.6.4 2009/04/10 16:33:29 File A: C:\Temp\PTP - Show Me Your Spine b320.mp3 File B: C:\Temp\Show Me Your Spine Nero AAC q 1.0.mp4 16:33:29 : Test started. 16:33:37 : 01/01 50.0% 16:33:40 : 02/02 25.0% 16:33:43 : 03/03 12.5% 16:33:47 : 04/04 6.3% 16:33:50 : 05/05 3.1% 16:33:55 : 06/06 1.6% 16:34:00 : 07/07 0.8% 16:34:04 : 08/08 0.4% 16:34:07 : 09/09 0.2% 16:34:12 : 10/10 0.1% 16:34:16 : 11/11 0.0% 16:34:19 : 12/12 0.0% 16:34:23 : 13/13 0.0% 16:34:27 : 14/14 0.0% 16:34:31 : 15/15 0.0% 16:34:35 : 16/16 0.0% 16:34:37 : Test finished. ---------- Total: 16/16 (0.0%) The 320 kbps CBR Mp3 sounds just plain awful, major precho artifacts.

I still think that q 1.0 is overkill though.
