AACelerator Description

AACelerator - Encode audio files using new AAC code. AACelerator is the quickest way to easily encode all of your audio files into MPEG-4 Advanced Audio Codec (AAC) audio files. This new encoding format included in QuickTime 6 represents a significant step forward in encoded file size and sonic quality.By all accounts, audio encoded at the same bit rates as MP3 files will result in audio files with superior sonic quality. This encoding format will also produce a file with equivalent sonic quality at much lower bit rates, allowing you to store your music collectionAACelerator works together with QuickTime 6 to encode the audio files. The program utilizes AppleScript to feed the QuickTime Player application the files you would like encoded and exports them with the settings you specify.Here are some key features of "AACelerator":· Drag-n-Drop files, folders, or entire CDs & disks and encode them with one click ease· Encode hinted streaming files for QuickTime Streaming Server· Embed Artist, Album, and other song information into an MPEG-4 file or copy a subset of ID3 Tags from existing MP3 files· Supports data rates from 8 kbps through 320 kbps· Batch process multiple audio files in one step, easily encode an entire CD· Produces QuickTime AAC files fully compatible with iTunes and other popular MP3 software players Requirements:· A valid, registered license for QuickTime 6 Pro is require for the encoding process to work. What's New in This Release: · Better iTunes 4 and iPod Compatibility: MPEG-4 files retain their type and creator codes until they are brought into iTunes. This allows the tag information to come in along with the MPEG-4 audio files. This fixes the problem where valid tag information was transferred into the file, but not recognized by iTunes. The files remain MPEG-4 files, not Apple's so-called "AAC" file format. The only known side effects are that with MPEG-4 files, sound effects like cross-fade and equalizer settings are ineffective. As well, MPEG-4 files cannot be synchronized with an iPod. Converting MPEG-4 files into AAC files is a simple and quick process. · Script Menu Items for iTunes 4: While MPEG-4 files play fine in iTunes, they cannot be synchronized with an iPod and special effects such as equalizer settings and cross-fade effects do not produce the desired audio effect. Converting an MPEG-4 file into an AAC file simply requires changing the file type and creator codes to "M4A " and "hook". No recompression is performed and the process takes just a second or two for a handful of files. With version 1.02, we now include two Script Menu items that appear in iTunes' menu bar to convert selected files to and from AAC format. · Saved Preferences: AACelerator now saves the user's last selected encoding destination folder, last selected encoding bit rate, and streaming options as application preferences on a per-user basis. When the application is restarted, these settings are restored for your convenience.
