Problem With AAC files

[visakapriyan]

PROBLEM WITH AAC FILES:

1. Winamp 5.01 version doesn't handle AAC files created by
other 3rd party software

apple's itunes
(AAC converted under 128 Kbps with Sound enhancement feature)

and other 3rd party softwares

MY system:

Intel P4-1.6 Ghz
128 Mb SD RAM
Windows 98 SE
Software used - Apple's Itunes,Winamp 5.01 (Comparison)
Harddisk - 40 GB

iTunes creates .MP4/.M4A files, not .AAC files...

Winamp supports files with the .aac extension.
These are mpeg2-lc aac files.

MP4/M4A is a container format for mpeg4-he aac files (though the container can also contain mpeg2-lc aac files, or any other compatible format).

To play these in Winamp you will need to install the relevant plugin.

Native MP4/M4A support is planned for a forthcoming Winamp 5.0x release.
