AAC Decoder

[gc76]

Can I convert to MP3 from a file with the AAC extension? I have the beta AAC encoder, but is there a decoder as well? I'm trying to go from aac extension to something the iPod can play, either MP3 or MP4.

Re: AAC Decoder

There is work being done on a "mp4 to aac" codec that will convert between the two formats. For now, the beta AAC codec should decode the file as well.

Re: AAC Decoder

It says "Error: Unable to load decoder for file type '.aac', codec not installed? "

I saw the instructions for installing the encoder but didnt see anything on how to add an aac decoder.

Re: AAC Decoder

Are you using dMC r12 or 11.5? Version numbers are in Start --> Programs --> dBpoweramp Music Converter --> Configuration --> dBpoweramp Configuration.
If you are using r12, try uninstalling your current mp4/aac codec and install the latest beta here: http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=12005

Re: AAC Decoder

I have R12 installed. Uninstalled/reinstalled beta codec. Still getting:

Error: Unable to load decoder for file type '.aac', codec not installed? visit 'Codec Central'. [dBCoreConverter::dBCoreConverter]

This is when right clicking and choosing "convert". If I start the converter up, it doesn't give the option to choose an aac file. I'm running windows server 2003 also.

Re: AAC Decoder

I think Spoon said that AAC isn't in the m4a codec yet, it should be soon. Watch the thread to see when its updated.

Re: AAC Decoder

Looks like I spoke too soon. An AAC decoder and encoder has been added today. See here: http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthre...5&page=1&pp=15
