aac net radio streaming

Post by jkforde »

MM3.0.7.1191

howdy, I've looked throught the 'Need Help?' threads but haven't found any precise answers to the following:

can MM3 stream AAC+ net radio? If so, how? via WinAmp? Plugins? currently using VLC to stream an AAC+ playlist but would rather not have two players so want to use MM3 to stream it.

if its a format that mediamonkey is told to associate with then he should play it. all he needs is a url like anyother internet radio station stream.

thanks rovingcowboy, using the shoutcast listing i'm able to play any mp3 stream but all the aac+ marked streams load the name of the station, flash up the 0:00 and that's it, no stream. btw, i can play local aac files no problem. tfah

No AAC streaming isn't supported, but it should be added eventually as it has been entered into the MM bug tracker: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=4836

You can try this as well. I tried it but MM wants me to get a plug in for this which I don't need so that is as far as I have gotten but it is worth a shot.

AAC streams aren't supported (I have the AAC plugin and the link doesn't work). I tried the WMA stream however and it worked well.

Amazing! You have to manually add an extension for MM to know what type of stream you have. :lol: Hilarious!!
Really user-friendly. Thank God that you don't have to input the format specification as well!

To be honest, MM doesn't claim it can do audio streams.. Still, an audio player with these much bells and whistles that can't perform basic functions (i.e. recognize an audio format without using the extension, AAC/AAC+ stream decoding) leaves much to be desired.

thanks for all the replies.

I found that if I saved the stream link to the desktop and then use MM to open it that it'll play - then save the stream to a playlist and happy days.... :D
