Self-explanatory, I think...the previous poll being over a year old and there has been substantial development (IMO) across all the major players (barring MPC with little known about WMA).

QUOTE (rjamorim @ Apr 2 2006, 05:36 PM) QUOTE (Supacon @ Apr 2 2006, 09:25 PM) AAC is promising too, but it's a pain in the ass to use, and it always costs money in every instance of an encoder or decoder  What do you mean? You surely know that there are free AAC encoders (iTunes, Real Player) and decoders (aforementioned ones, plus Winamp, Foobar, etc) I suppose I eggagerated a bit, but the best encoder appears to be Nero, based on recent listening tests, and that one does cost money. Perhaps that's just being a bit anal, as the iTunes encoder wasn't very far behind. As for the free decoders, yes, Winamp & Foobar have free aac decoders. Most other software out there requires extra payment though... like players for your palm pilot or PocketPC and such. I'm not really sure how that can be so, however... why do some companies have to pay licensing fees on AAC, and other companies can freely distribute software with support for the codec without paying? But in any case, this must be one factor that helps to discourage its adoption, especially amongst HA users. |
