AAC codec for 68k?
« on: February 19, 2009, 04:51:17 AM »
Recently I have begun playing with the AAC codec (in m4a wrapper) for my music, and have found it to be a wonderful change from MP3.

Of course I would like to share this with my Amiga.  There are quite a lot of MP3 utilities for the 68k Amiga, but little for AAC.  I searched AmiNet and found faad2 for 68k listed, but have not yet played with it -- it looks like it has a command line decoder, but nothing to play real-time.

What I would like to find is something which would play AAC files in 68k, like a plugin for AMP.  Although, I believe the complexity might be such that it would require a DSP like the Delfina for playback.

Anyone have any thoughts or information on this?

@LoadWB:

On Aminet there's PlayOGG, which supports a myriad of formats including AAC.

Here it is: http://aminet.net/package/mus/play/playOGG

But Ogg Vorbis does have better compression, at least compared to MP3. Dunno about AAC.

I have found AAC at 128kbps to produce MUCH better sound quality than MP3s with VBR-encoding (via lame 3.98 library, anyway.)

Since the equipment I deal with supports MP3 and AAC, I have not tried Ogg Vorbis.  I'll check out PlayOgg to see how it handles AAC files this weekend when I have a half-hour to spare.

MP3 sucks at 128 kbps but is pretty good to excellent at 192 or 256 kbps - obviously more modern codecs score better.
