3rd party plugin for aac+

[sillKotscha]

Hi folks,

as of now iTunes does not support AAC+. Neither does RealPlayer nor Windows Media Player without a 3rd party plugin. Afaik they soon will have native support for aac+ but until now only winamp and VLC (?) supports AAC+ by default.

I know of Orban aacPlus Player Plugin for WMP (http://www.orban.com/plugin/) to enable AAC+ stream support and would like to know if you can tell me a similar plugin for iTunes (and maybe RealPlayer).

I did a quick 'n ugly google search on that issue but only came up with various threads complaining about the current state of AAC+ support respectively only the mentioned Orban plugin for WMP but nothing for iTunes and RealPlayer.

I would gladly appreciate any link for a 3rd party plugin to enable AAC+ streaming support in iTunes.

Than I could ditch the 128k mp3 stream and replace it by a 64k AAC+ for streaming decent quality audio at lower bitrates.

Thank you in advance

i don't think there is one. iirc you can decode an aac+ stream with an aac decoder if you're really after the lower bitrate.. though that's not really recommended, as you don't get any of the advantages

using other software entirely might be an easier route.
