There are plenty of my posts in a.b.mp3.abooks I don't post in this group
for a reason.
Audible .AA files are 32kbps mp3 files in a DRM container, Audible .AAX
files are 64kbps aac files in a DRM container. So if you rip .AA files to
56kbps, you're blowing them up unnecessarily. Now if you encode an .AAX
file with lame vbr 4-7, you'll still end up with a smaller file size than
a constant bit rate 56kbps rip and better audio quality.
There's nothing gained by using a much lower quality source. Especially
these days, when a usenet flat rate with unlimited downloads is as cheap
as 2.95 Euros per month. There's really no need in saving every last
byte. And even if someone is on a block account, at 15 Euros for a 500GB
block account, a couple of megabytes more or less in size really don't
matter anymore.
