Reply to comment by silver-shot in Which lossy codec to use compress with before Android BT AAC transcoding? by silver-shot

Nine different codecs 100-pass recompression test

AAC wins over 100 decode-reencode cycles. But as /u/klogg4 says it's not likely to matter with a single re-encode. I use the same earbuds as you and I don't really worry about this, I mostly use Spotify and Tidal.

AAC is decoded and re-encoded for BT transmission, it's not passed directly to the earbud. But it's also particularly resistant to generational loss.

Wow what a great read! I'll go for AAC then I think! :) Cheers.
