There are about a dozen features included in the paid (Gold) version and not the free version. The OP is simply asking why this encoder is not one of them.
yep but what you dont see i am saying, is they are disabled in the free version. which is cause enough for the plugin owner to claim it is also a unit and needs paid for.

5,000 times 30.00 equals 150,000.00 so they could pay with that. how ever !! including it in the program will also be in the free program which brings us back to the 15,000 downloads and the possible price of over 120 dollar price for monkey. do you really want that inculded now with the program for the gold users.
made a math mistake on the first post fixed it. 
Don't you earn money when people buy MM-Gold?
15 Euros and there is no money to implement an AAC Encoder in the Gold version?

I'm one who doesn't need it, so would prefer not to pay extra. It would be good if there could be some sensing of users' preference before increasing the cost of MM.

No, that is for the decoder but MM's is an encoder.

Yep that seems to be it. I imagine though that since the plugin can encode and decode, that both fees would apply.
