    AAC or MP3 for audio stream?

    How many of you guys are streaming your audio stream Via AAC? Have you had any issues with Programs like Stitcher and Tunein not being able to stream the format?

    Though AAC is more efficient than MP3, it's still not as widely supported as MP3. I still elect to stream everything in MP3 format. But, that's just me.

    MP3, but Tunein is still having a problem with our feed. Stitcher worked from day one.

    I just spoke to someone at stitcher and they said AAC is currently not supported. Guess im going to be sticking with MP3 for the time being.

    @amnon any idea why it isnt working for you on Stitcher?

    Works fine on Stitcher, TuneIn is messed up, and I cannot get anyone to reply.
