1 - Quality is in direct proportion to file size on both, the bigger the file, the better the quality.
2 - In listening tests (see
www.hydrogenaudio.com) with the right encoder and options, MP3 as a rule beats AAC (also known as MP4) at the same file size.
3 - Most importantly, decoding MP3 takes less processing power to decode than MP4.... that directly translates into longer battery life when listening to MP3s.
