AAC,MP3 AND AIFF. Differances?

AAC - is a standardized, lossy compression and encoding scheme for digital audio. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves better sound quality than MP3 at similar bit rates
 -----------
MP3 -is a patented encoding format for digital audio which uses a form of lossy data compression. It is a common audio format for consumer audio storage, as well as a de facto standard of digital audio compression for the transfer and playback of music on digital audio players.
 ----------
AIFF - is an audio file format standard used for storing sound data for personal computers and other electronic audio devices.

Song Used ---------Clash of Destiny by Mark Griskey (Star Wars The Old Republic Soundtrack)

AAC File Size - 4.5 mb
MP3 Good File Size - 2.2mb
MP3 Higher File Size - 2.7mb
***AIFF File Size - 23.6MB***

If the wanted to rip all my music to trade them i would probably go with AIFF. reason being if your computer does have a large amount of memory space it would be useful to have the most HQ sound you could get. and if i wanted to trade them i would simply convert them into mp3 for the person i was trading it to and put it on flash drive or external hard drive.
