LAME MP3 vs iTunes AAC - Hydrogenaudio Forums
post brings an interesting take on the MP3 vs. AAC dilemma. I guess that with AAC being so easy to use with iTunes (even keeping all ID3 tags nicely intact for the E90 including the cover art) it may be the most efficient choice. The maturity of LAME is, of course, intriguing.. :)

Update: Encoded an audio book in iTunes with the default "High quality setting", i.e. 128 AAC, edited all the tags, put up a cover and Music library finds NEITHER THE ALBUM NOR THE GENRE. Actually it doesn't even find the newly added songs. Moving around the memory card doesn't help either. Tried playing the folder in ALON's MP3 dictaphone, the best player for E90 out there, but it kept crashing on me so that I had to restart the phone several times. In the end I had to play each track one by one from the File browser. Awful!

So I guess for now I'm going to buy ALON's MP3 and encode all my audio and CD's with the standard and tested LAME MP3. Here are the recommended LAME MP3 encoder settings and I recommend you use Exact Audio Copy if you do this on Windows to do the job properly.
