AAC plugin doesn't play my AAC files

I've tried 1.0.4 and 1.0.5, but neither will play my AAC files that I encoded in WinAmp.
Are there particular AAC files that it does and doesn't support?
VLC Player plays the files perfectly.

Are you sure that you do not Compress in Winamps AAC+ Format ?

Yes, I think it was AAC+. Is that not supported?

Winamp created AAC+ is not supported in MM and except VLC Player (i think that there was one more app) I have not yet found app that plays AAC+ correctly.

I convert some files with Easy CD-DA Extractor to aac, surly not aacplus! But in MM I see only grey lines while playing...

Even if you try to play converted tracks using Drag and Drop to MM player and/or start playing of converted files using MM my computer tree node?
Do you have QuickTime (or QT Alternative/Lite) Installed?

No matter whether I using the Drag & Drop or computer tree node it doesn't play the aac files...
I have installed the quicktime alternative.

I have installed the quicktime alternative.
I've had the same problem - I think quicktime alternative only allows for playback of web-related media.

Did you test it with Quicktime once time?

to play in mediamonkey use codec with m4a format: m4a/lc-aac or m4a/aacplus (he-aac)
the file will have a *.m4a extension and plays in mediamonkey, itunes and ipods.
Encode again your songs. If you only change the extension, it doesn't work.

To play any MP4 files I use now the in_mp4.dll for Winamp 2/5. It works fine.
Found here
Except for AACplus

If you encode your songs with winamp with m4a/acc or m4a/accplus (be sure m4a format) then play in MM.
Perhaps Mediamonkey Monkey will recognize the he-acc like lc-acc ,i don't know, but plays correctly and you can transfer to an ipod.
Itunes and ipods recognize boths codecs like lc-acc and in the accplus take time of a song like double time (example: a song of 3 minutes is sawn like a 6 minutes ) . This is cause sometimes i use panoramic stereo to encode i think, but it plays.
And all this, without install acc plugin for mediamonkey.
