Well, in the world of audio compression it's never boring... :-) Full press release from Dolby: http://www.aac-audio.com/press/aac.pr.0104.AACencoder.html My comments: Looks like Dolby will start licensing AAC encoder that targets consumers and the products they use like CD rippers, jukebox players, etc. Also, it looks like that this encoder will be Low Complexity AAC ("The AAC Consumer

Marvin, fair enough. Via's licensing terms appear to apply to encoders and decoders only, and not to transports, such as Icecast ("An AAC patent license is needed by manufacturers or developers of end-user encoder and/or decoder products"), so using Icecast to transport an AAC-encoded stream is not a violation of the AAC is not mentioned in the Icecast documentation (that I can

ICecast i capable of sorts of streams, that is not your problem. Your stream source client (DSP) is the part who must be capable of streaming the format you want. For AAC use oddcast DSP www.oddsock.org capabale of AAC, LAME Mp3, and OGG (Free to use) very good at OGG specially with the vorbis 1.1 aoTuVb3 DLLs For AAC Plus (HE_AAC) use Orban opticodec for PC (witch is capable of every bitrate

I must say this is a very confusing issue. I generate AAC+ on an open source system which downloaded some code during installation from the 3GPP source. It appears the encoding software is being freely distributed, and hardware which decodes the stream pays a licence fee at point of manufacture. We have such hardware. In a number of locations. One brand has AAC+ only, not AAC. I note VLC

Oops, I was a bit sloppy in my organization, and also sloppy on a few facts. I did not intend to imply that A-52 was lossless - I was merely using it as an example of an open specification format that cannot be implemented and sold without being licensed. I'm glad that we are finally getting lossless formats accepted in large public standards. The liba52 library may not be legal. I

First off, I'm not an expert in this field, but I thought I could probably answer a few of your questions. If anyone else wants to give a more complete explanation, please do.

It's really pretty simple. You can download the code and build it all you want... ...for yourself. It cannot be distributed, sold, or used commercially in any way.

As my iphone will not play nice with open source audio formats I'm forced to use aac. I have faac and produce .aac files that seems to play fine with Amarok but no tags. I usually use Easytag (from rpmforge) to deal with metadata on audio files, but despite the advertised ability to do mp4/aac it does not even show the files...... Anyone have any experience or pointers as to how I get the

The open source AAC/HE-AAC encoders offer pretty poor audio quality. You really want encoder that uses the Coding Technologies, now Dolby, or Fraunhofer libs. That's what Orban Opticodec-PC uses. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for, and this is a perfect example. Greg. Orban Sent from Apple iTelePhone 5 StreamS HiFi Radio iPhone App High Performance HE-AAC First to bring HE-AAC to

Ok, I don't know what I'm doing wrong here, so I signed up to the mailing list. Here's the situation: I have an extensive music collection and have just purchased an iPod. I already have ripped a few of my CDs (about 4Gb worth) in an mp3 format (previously had an mp3 CD player), but I'm not planning to rip the rest of my CD collection in an mp3 format. At the moment, I'm

For the laptop, you didn't mention a model or platform. I have vague awareness of some x86 hardware in that there

The open source fdk-aac encoder, available there: https://github.com/mstorsjo/fdk-aac offers pretty good quality. As for libshout, I do not think that it is currently posible to send AAC data using it. First, libshout doesn't have support to buffer and control timing of data sent. And even is you use the un-timed API (shout_send_raw), the library cannot set the proper mime type, due to a

Hi folks, I'm trying to get a handle on the many lossless audio formats from the perspective of a software developer. I love the FLAC format because it is open source and it performs very well. But there is also the MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing), AAC (Apple Lossless), and probably some Microsoft format(s) that compete in the same feature set. These formats all achieve
