mp3 players?
to be more exact are there any mp3 players in the market that can play aacplus (aac+)?
well as aac+ sound quality is quite good at lower bit rates compared to mp3 even with 1gb you would be able to carry quite a lot of music around... |

Edit: looking around none support AACplus as far as I can see - in fact it appears that iPods are one of the only ones that support AAC now (Sony's players certainly used to, as Ihave one of their mp3 cd-walkmans that I'm sure can play AAC files).
EDIT AGAIN: Sony use Atrac which is supposed to be similar to AAC+ . Last edited by cmc 42 : 21-08-2006 at 14:30. |

yeah but i read that iPods are only keen on playing apple encoded AAC files and not others.
but the strange thing is that a lot of new mobile phones do support aacplus files. |

hmm... just done a google search and I got:
Motorola Samsung LG Now they're all mobile phones. I can't find any MP3 players that support AAC+ I don't know whether the new Nokia (which is rather a bricky phone) with it's massive memory supports AAC+ But then that all depends on whether you would be okay with using your mobile as an mp3 player ![]() EDIT: Just did a search on pricerunner for aac+ and it took me straight to the mobile phones page. So if you want to use that format you'll have to have a mobile phone. The Nokia N91 seems to be getting a lot of good reviews at the moment Last edited by cmc 42 : 21-08-2006 at 22:22. |

Apparently AACplus is still evolving; some of the latest encoders are supposed to make 48k tracks sound reasonable. |

can the file format (ie mp3, aac, wma) affect battery performance on a phone or even on a mp3 player?
