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

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(a)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.!

 I understand the licensing differences between Ogg and MP3.  What about
 the newer aacPlus?

 The new KCMP is using aacPlus because they claim they can webcast near
 CD-quality with a pretty small stream:

 (It is great!

 I am trying to get them to add Ogg and MP3 to reach more people.
