Feedback on AAC-Plugin

[bid]

I Found the new ACC plugin hard to use.

1. It bothers you each time it encodes a song if you want to buy it (but you can't buy it at this time - a nonsense dialog).

2. It needs administrator rights on XP in order to change its quality settings.

3. I tried to use the plugin for auto-conversion FLAC->m4a, but the transcoded files do not appear on my Ipod.

I like the idea of using AAC instead of MP3 as a lossy format on an Ipod
and I'm willing to pay an extra fee, but the plugin seems unusable for me at the moment.

My settings:
MM3.0.3 beta (gold license)
Ipod 5th generation (1.3 firmware)
XP SP2

Best regards,
Bid

I have the same problem with this plugin.

2nd gen 4GB Ipod nano - model no. A1199
Software version 1.1.3
Media Monkey v3.0.3.1183
AAC/M4A Encoder / Decoder Plug-in v1.04
Win XP SP3


Auto-convert FLAC to AAC...

itunes sees the files on the ipod but will not play them.
ipod will reboot if I try to play the files.
Media Monkey and Winamp are the only programs I have that can play the auto converted songs on the ipod.


I bought MM v2 to get away from itunes, no native support for AAC on ipods so I waited for MM version 3. I now own v3 and the 30 day trial on the plugin is going to run out soon... what are my options?

btw, Winamp (free version) has no problem auto-converting FLAC>AAC on my nano.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
