Feature Request: HE-AAC support

Post by jameskatt »

HE-AAC files are an ISO standard and part of the AAC standard.

HE-AAC files (version 1 and version 2) are half the size of equivalent MP3 Files, making them great for streaming music.

There are open source FAAD/FAAD2 decoding libraries. These are used in VLC media player, Songbird, and Adobe Flash.

Can HE-AAC support be added into Amadeus Pro - such as in a plug-in or by direct support?

Currently, it looks like Amadeus Pro decodes HE-AAC files as plain AAC files, losing a lot of the audio information in the process.
