What is better? MP3 can be played on 48,000 hz and AAC on 44,100 hz. Personally I can't hear the difference between those two.

I personally prefer AAC 256kbps to MP3 320Kbps, as for me the quality is just as good if not better and is a slightly smaller file format. So yeah, I'd normally recommend AAC but to be honest it would take a very expensive pair of headphones and a large amount of concentration to notice the difference between any audio files with 256 or higher. Audiophiles may "argue" differently but the mass majority would not notice a difference.

Well Brian I have to differ I listened to both played through a linn sondek with linn ittok, quad bi amp valve version and poofy speakers
I have to say with AAC the response was faster and the timing excellent
But with mp3 the bass was tighter
But the soundstage with both was.....yaaaaaaahhh dahhhling
However when I bi-wired both setups I found the dynamic range on each identical
SO IM IN A HEADFUCK!!!
What was the question again? LOL

I rip a lot of stuff in WAV now. I mean we have TB hard drives FFS!
Before that I was using Apple Lossless (M4A).

WAV's eat up a lot of gigabytes, FLAC is pretty much universally supported (except iTunes, those Apple fuckers!) and takes up less space than Apple Lossless.

I got a 32GB usb thumb drive that ive been copying my lossless FLAC collection of albums onto for car and ps4 play into 320kbps CBR MP3. I know 256kbps AAC sounds identical to 320 MP3 but uses less of several KBs and sometimes a few MBs, but is it worth doing the rest in AAC or just keep with ol' faithful MP3?

I put Love Is Noise by the Verve into Audacity, one track compressed from 16-bit FLAC to 320kbps MP3 CBR, and the other to 256kbps AAC CBR. Only difference to me, at least, was slightly, JUST SLIGHTLY (keep in mind I'm using $80+ Sennheiser headphones) was more low-end on the MP3. That's it. The MP3 is also 2MB more than the AAC file.
