The codec is available for free through the iTunes Digital Jukebox.įAAC is a free LC AAC encoder under the Lesser GPL license. The Nero AAC encoder was based on the earlier PsyTEL AAC encoder by Ivan Dimkovic.Īpple's proprietary AAC implementation, formerly part of QuickTime, is known to be one of the highest quality medium-bitrate CBR LC AAC encoders. Nero AAC is available for free as a suite of command line tools called "Nero AAC Codec" (formerly Nero Digital Audio). The codec can also create HEv1/v2 AAC streams for extremely low bitrates and supports multi-channel surround sound encoding. When it was new, it was generally perceived to have the highest quality VBR LC AAC implementation (although QuickTime AAC outperformed it in CBR mode at 128kbps). Ī commercial implementation of both LC AAC and HE AAC, Nero AAC is produced by Nero AG as part of their Nero Digital line of products. The licensed encoder included with Winamp is optimized for encoding music on desktop-class processors, while the Android version includes low-delay encoding for real-time communication on embedded systems/mobile phones.Īccording to the July 2011 96kbps listening tests by IgorC, Winamp's Fraunhofer encoder is better than Nero AAC and tied with the Apple encoder (then part of QuickTime).
