I did a couple tests today, one blind and one not, comparing a couple 196 kbps mp3's against the same songs encoded in aac format at 128 kpbs. Even with the crappy headphones I have here at work, I could tell the difference. The acc encoded file sounded more rich and complete. The difference was most apparent at the bottom of the register. The bass in the mp3's just sounded like something was missing.

I'm very pleased that the lawsuit seeking to ban Oreo cookies, because they contain trans fatty acids, is getting so much press.
The folks who brought the suit have set up a site at BanTransFats.com with a good page of links to information about trans fats.
