The real question is whether you hear a difference
at substantially higher bitrates. If you cannot hear
the difference and you are not doing audio editing,
any higher and you'd be wasting disk space. However,
if you are an audiophile and you have the disk space,
forget AAC and go with the Apple Lossless Encoder
(ALE) instead.
