MP3 / WMA / AAC comparison

This morning I noticed an interesting article
comparing music compression software.  The author
compressed a WAV file using MP3, WMA and AAC,
set to sample at 128Kbps.=20

The results are displayed using CoolEdit's frequency
analyzer.  See the graphs at
http://www.tomshardware.com/consumer/02q3/020712/2u4u-05.html

In this example, the AAC file did a much better job
of capturing the 15-20KHz frequency range of the
WAV file. The AAC file subjectively sounded best, too.=20

Can anyone share results of a similar frequency analysis
comparing WAV with flavors of ATRAC?=20
