AAC

I recently bought an aac/mp3 player and it only supports aac in the .apc format. Is it possible to make such files using Psytel or the Ahead AAC encoders? RIght now I can make them using the provided AAC liquifer codec but in previous tests with the help of rjamorim I found the quality to be better with psytel.
What do you suggest?

Thnx

What company and model is this, Panasonic maybe? Then their support might know the answer... It would be necessary that the player and/or its "download" software also accepts plain MPEG-2 AAC files instead of only WAVs.

Seems like a secure wrapped aac-format.. You probably can't play any other aac-files except those wrapped files. And the provided encoder is probably the only encoder that can create the secured aac files.

Not absolutely sure, but it's pretty likely..

What player is it ?  If it's a SD-card based (Panasonic), I'd be interested in knowing how you can encode files for it.  Thanks !

Unfortunately, there is no way of either a.) importing regular AAC files into the Panasonic manager, or b.) creating ACP files without the use of the program. I tried things such as renaming the extension, etc. and it wouldn't let me transfer or import the file (since it has to be encrypted). Even if you could import files into the software, it wouldn't do you any good, since Real transcodes files such as MP3 to a secure format. I promptly got rid of my SD-80 player once I discovered this; Panasonic's terrible AAC implementation, coupled with having to use the buggy Real Player software, was just too much for me.

Good for you. That's total bullshit.

Although it doesn't play aac files except for the encrypted I'm still going to keep the device. It plays any kind of mp3 I've tossed at it and it also takes pictures, records video and can be used to record voice. Somewhat low budget on all sides (except mp3 playback) but it was also rather cheap I got it far below the 499$ suggested retail.

Thanks for your help.
