Determine quality of audio file with comparison
Usually, artists will release their work on multiple platforms, e.g. Bilibili, YouTube, niconico, etc. These platforms have different codecs and/or bitrates. Is there a way that determines which version has the highest audio quality? I'm specifically talking about aac-lc, but if you know about other codecs that's fine as well.

Please tell me if this question should be posted on stackoverflow, because it's kind of related to technology/programming.

The best thing I have found to compare quality is to run a spectral analysis with Audacity. Audacity is free and has lots of other nice features. Many recordings that are supposed to be 320bps are much close to 128bps. Even FLAC recordings show some poor quality. Just looking at the estimate by Foobar2000 or other audio players isn't enough.
