will check it out.Actually i was looking at STL solutions with limited band width,i found the aac 128 or FLAC from uncompressed sources to sound the best.have not experimented with the later stuff, but would not use it for Broadcast FM.
Yeah, personally… if I was going to code anything to lossy, I wouldn’t use anything but the latest Lame, set to:
-V 0 -q 0
8)define "better" i guess then.
what decoder and DAC and everything else are you using to test this? what probability of randomness are you scoring in your blind ABX testing between the two, and from how many iterations?
Can someone tell me where to find an aacplus dll for edcast? So far I only have aac dll.

Generally, it’s been installed with Winamp. Lately, they’ve switched from CT’s AAC+ to Fraunhofer(sp)’s brand. It’s not yet working in edcast.
If you can get a recent version of Winamp 5.5, and do a full install, it will be installed in the plugins folder.
Good luck.
So would that mean I need to install edcast winamp edition? Or just snag the dll out of winamp?

Just pull the .dll file from the winamp install. (Don’t use the Lite version of Winamp)
[quote author=”JesseG”]What is the absolute last version to have the CT version? Or does it still have it also?[/quote]
According to http://www.winamp.com/help/Version_History#Winamp_5.61
It looks like 5.61 is the last version before 5.62 where they announced the new Fraunhofer codec. I have to look again, but I’m pretty sure the CT encoder is no longer included with the install.
As an aside, I also noticed on AAC+ streams, the kb/s indicator on winamp now fluctuates as if it’s VBR. On my stream, I;m still using the CT encoder but wasn’t aware of it doing VBR… Perhaps that’s how it always was and Winamp never indicated as such. Jesse??
so where do i find aacplus ?? simple instructions please, right now only option is to pay $200 to spacial audio

🙂
For others coming accross this
Download winamp 5.61 from filehippo
copy dll to edcast
Many thanks to all those on this thread, saved me $200 from having to buy samcaster to encode aacplus
Wow been a little busy here since I last posted. I’m not sure what version of the Edcast Dll I’m running nor the encoder for aac etc. I realise they will do the job a little differently between brands & yes personal opinion it was (based in years of using it that way).
24K mp3 mono 22050 (for player compatiblity)
64K Stereo Acc+ (for audio quality without massive download)
128K mp3 Stereo (don’t use with aac+ so all media players can decode it) aac+ really isn’t needed up this hi
