Hi I'm new to this list, so please forgive me if I ask a dumb question! I know that AACplus is a dirty word here but.... I'm trying to make comparisons between live streams of OGG and AACplus at different bitrates. The only way I've found of streaming AAC+ so far from Linux is by running Winamp under wine and sending this to my Icecast2 server. This sort of works, but is hardly

I'm am currently using autuvb4 at q-2 mono 44100. This produces roughly 28 to 34kb/s. It's ok but I've heard AACPlus at 32kb/s stereo and it's definately better, unfortunately.

OK, I've organized this. It's not possible to average 32kb/s stereo with Vorbis using VBR. Quality -2 stereo proeduces roughly 32 to 38kb/s which is too high for many modems. I would have to use ABR, but last I tried that, it utilized too much CPU for my 950Mhz PC, and oddcast doesn't appear to support that option anymore. I've tried AACPlus 32kb/s mono and there is very

I should have provided a link to my low bitrate vorbis stream. It's a mostly easy listening world music format: http://soulfm.stationplaylist.com/listen.m3u Regards, Ross.

Hello, I've got a FreeBSD 6 machine running icecast2 and ices0streaming four different streams of mp3's. Now i have a need to stream the same content as either aac+ or ogg vorbis whichever would be easiest to set up and give the best quality. I want these new streams to handle both broadband and dialup users without sacrificing quality. My problem is i really really do not want to

I believe that Oddsock is using a Content Type of aacp. Using a .aac extension with this Content Type may present a conflict. This might actually be by design. I will do some further testing with Winamp and report here tomorrow. I will also double-check with the developer of Winamp for complete clarification. FYI, Orban Opticodec-PC allows the use of either Content Type of aac or aacp. aac is

Greg, Yes, I have noticed that new codec.. AACPlus. Its really impressive in it's abilities, and it's sound quality. I tried to open it up with Windows Media Player and my Flash Player.. didn't seem to like it very much. While It's really kewl as a codec, and it has great support with a couple players, and limited support for the rest, I'll stick with the mainstream for now,

Just so you know the what's happening with the competition, Nullsoft has released Shoutcast DSP v1.90 supporting AACPlus encoding for free. http://www.shoutcast.com/downloads/shoutcast-dsp-1-9-0-windows.exe The shoutcast website hasn't been updated yet. You need Winamp v5.1 which includes the AAC+ encoder DLL. Regards, Ross.

> hmmm.. very interesting.. any info on how they've done the licensing ? No idea how the licensing works. If it's free for the streamer then that may destroy Vorbis's inroads into streaming. I'm hoping that Monty and others can improve Vorbis to start competing with AAC+ at low bitrates. Monty said he had some ideas but I wonder if anything is being worked on presently.

hey there, short question, maybe asked 1000times... but have no access to the list archive at the moment and need a quick setup. i need a live feed (microphone) to connect to an icecst2 server. on linux i've successfully used muse, but what's the best... on winXP? thanks, uno

Hello all friends! I have downloaded the latest ezstream (0.2.0) for Windows version, but I have faced some issues... First of all, on the installation process, it neither makes the desktop icon as it says it would do, nor creates a program group folder on the startup menu. Anyway, I try to finf on my Program Files folder and run in DOS mode the ezstream.exe I want to ask if I can grab the

Here is a patch for icecast 2.3.2 that adds support for listening to mp3 and aac+ streams on the iphone. A quick background on the technical aspects of the patch and why it is needed : With the advent of 3g on the iphone, lots of people have been jumping on the bandwagon of providing internet radio streams that work on the iPhone. The biggest problem is that (without having to install an

Hello. I have same problem, and I think that it's because AAC+ uses VBR and when it's changes, is not the same bitrate, because varies...

We are running an icecast2 server in conjunction with our LPFM radio station and need a little advice. We have been serving a single 128k ogg stream from a remote server and would like to make additional formats available (e.g. mp3, lower bandwidth, etc.) I would think this has been done a few thousand times and there would be a "best practice" but I can't find it. Our basic

Hi all, I set up ezstream to read a playlist.m3u file containing only MP3 encoded songs (to shuffle continuously) and push this to icecast2. This works, and I can also reencode to a lower bitrate. I would like to know if there is a way to reencode these MP3s into AAC-LC 128kpbs and then push the stream to icecast2. I'm doing this on a VM with only terminal access and no audio hardware, so

I'm not sure if this is an icecast issue or oddcast issue or both, but the latest Winamp (v5.22) is not now playing AAC+ streams encoded with Oddcast. Winamp v5.21 and earlier versions work fine. This may be some attempt by Winamp developers to force people to use Shoutcast, or to prevent oddcast from using their enc_aacplus.dll. Right, just took some time to set up the Shoutcast DSP to

hi everybody. I am involved in a Internet Radio Station in Bristol UK. We are using a icecast 2 server and are trying to work out what to use to upstream. Currently we are using darkice which seems to work well. However it does not support playlists. I have looked at muse-streamer but it is currently far to unstable. Therefore ices or ezstream seem to be the option. From what I can gather

Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits has stopped providing licenses for MP3 technology, "[...] noting that more superior audio formats have rendered the MP3 obsolete. Speaking to National Public Radio (USA), the Fraunhofer Institute said AAC has since become the 'de facto standard for music download and videos on mobile phones.' "
