AAC+ (HE-AAC) Internet Radio Stations Support
I have searched the forums for an answer to this matter. As of now it seems Mediamonkey is not able to stream aac+ internet radio stations. It contacts the station, retrieves the name and that's it!.
If anybody is or has been able please tell how, otherwise it would be a nice feature in future MM releases.
If anybody likes to do a test please open the following url and let me know if you are able to listen to it. It is a 32kbps AAC+ Station

Thanks!

In fact...
iTunes does play aac streams, but not AAC+
I was hoping to listen to aac+ streams in iTunes to solve this matter but iTunes (the creator of AAC+) does not support it!.
Some iTunes users have been waiting for it to support aac+, they have even express their wish to recode their library to aac+ since it takes even less space.
anyway... i just hope MM supports it, don't care about iTunes, don't like it.

Well iTunes isn't the creator of AAC+. It's even not the creator of AAC but just a supporter of that format.
Btw AAC+ (HE-AAC) is only better than the normal AAC at bitrates <96 Kbps (at max).

Sorry about that
You're right man.
Thanks for the correction.
Here's an apple link about AAC to read about it.

Couldn't find one about AAC+ from them.
I like my files in higher bitrates than 96 but just for streaming i think AAC+ can offer a lot.
What do you think?

Sure for streaming it should be useful. But I didn't see a lot HE-AAC-Streams yet.

stream needs
The wiki does say that it is supported by winamp so, if you select winamp as the player in the options, it would seem that it should then play. I don't have winamp on this computer so I cannot test this out.
Another thing that concerns me about netradio is the use of flash players. As far as I know there is no way to play these streams via MM and it seems the use of these players is only growing. I would rather maintain control of the player on my computer where there is the possibility to modify and control its actions.

I would think that you could play a flash stream through the web node, but I don't really know as I've never tried it.pushpull wrote:The wiki does say that it is supported by winamp so, if you select winamp as the player in the options, it would seem that it should then play.

Re: stream needs
Other than the links for amazon, emusic, ect. I do not see a way to navigate using the web node unless there is something I am missing. Even if you could navigate like a browser via the web node would the webpage player be in control (pause,stop, etc.) or would MM be in control of these functions?nohitter151 wrote:I would think that you could play a flash stream through the web node, but I don't really know as I've never tried it.pushpull wrote:The wiki does say that it is supported by winamp so, if you select winamp as the player in the options, it would seem that it should then play.

Re:
How far does MM stand with AAC+ now?
I really miss this. I recently switched to MM, and I love it, except that I must seek alternative URL's for a lot of my radio stations now. And it does of course higher my bandwidth use, since there isn't any better high quality, low bit rate and generally accepted standard out there.
I'd also hate to install Winamp.
To be honest, I thought aac+ was the "better" standard nowadays for streaming!?
Just an output plugin from Winamp, wouldn't that do, to play it? I didn't find it in the plugins list (only input).

Dude, I have like 30 stations that play AAC+ and some of them are quite popular! (SomaFM, RadioParadise, ..)Big_Berny wrote:Sure for streaming it should be useful. But I didn't see a lot HE-AAC-Streams yet.

Anyway, does anyone has any knowledge on this meanwhile (in MM without Winamp)?
I can't find any winamp plugins either for this specifically, for what it's worth. Maybe the standard winamp plugin can be used in MM (kind of way around installing winamp and using it as player)? No idea however where to find that one..
