[linux-audio-user] Re: AacPlus compared to Ogg

[guerrier]

aacplus does sound great, even at 32kbs bitrate.  It's developed by
Coding Technologies (
http://www.codingtechnologies.com/products/aacPlus.htm ).  There is an
article about it on slate ( http://slate.com/Default.aspx?id=2112548&
).
about Licensing--
http://www.codingtechnologies.com/licensing/aacplus.htm I actually
send an email inquiry to info at codingtechnologies.com and I am waiting
for a reply.
aacplus is an enhanced MPEG4-audio.  it plays in winamp and vlc.  Does
it play in xmms and other linux audio players?  I guess it shoud.!
