Ok, I have 5 AAC/ADTS files that I am trying to playback and/or convert.
Here they be: http://www.northwoodrecords.com/dmdaac/ I have tried every encoder, decoder, player, and trick I can come up with... I am an audio engineer by trade, but I'm more of a studio guy who rarely deals with much outside the realm of wav, aiff, and plain old mp3. long story short, this is my only remaining copy of these songs, and I am desperate to access them. they were ripped from wave file on cdr directly to and by my car stereo, a chrysler/harman becker "mygig" harddrive car system. I had been listening to these songs for a year in my car just fine, original CD got lost, and I went to the dealer and had the files extracted from my car to a usb drive. now i cant play them, or load them back on my car. from what i know the car system runs a QNX RTOS, and encodes audio as some form of aac. Can any experts out there make these work???????? |

The manual doesnt say much about the way it encodes files at all. I had to go to the dealer in the first place to get the files off the car(they have to hook it up to their computer and put the stereo in "service mode" to do this.) I thought everything was golden once i had the files on disc, but now nothing under the sun can open them. Info on the internet claimes that the stereo encodes as wma, but every file it rips (that isnt given a gracenote title, ie anything after 2008 or anything obscure) gets a simple track number with a .aac extension. The dealer know virtually nothing about this stuff, i actually had to perform the function myself after they put it in service mode, and the manufacturer makes this type of stereo exclusively for chrysler and redirects any customer service inquiries to the dealer.
This is my only copy left in existence of a recording i would really like to retrieve but I am getting nothing but dead ends. If i hadnt gotten them removed by the dealer(the function of doing so also wipes the car hard drive) I could have at least ripped open my stereo and simply tapped into the R/L wires and re-recorded the output audio, but now i cant even do that... |
