With the addition of Parametric Stereo in MPEG, aacPlus v2 is the state-of-the-art low bit rate open standards audio codec.
MPEG-4 aacPlus is the combination of three MPEG technologies comprising Advanced Audio Coding (AAC), coupled with Coding Technologies' Spectral Band Replication (SBR), and Parametric Stereo (PS) technologies.
aacPlus v1 is the combination of AAC and SBR, standardized as the High-Efficiency profile in MPEG-4 part 10 (HEAAC).
Supports all popular audio file formats - 3G2, 3GP, MP1, MP2, MP3, Windows Media Audio, Ogg Vorbis, MP4, M4A, AAC, aacPlus v1 (HE-AAC, AAC+), aacPlus v2 (HE-AACv2, HE-AAC+PS, eAAC+), FLAC, Musepack, WavPack, WAV, AIFF, Monkey's Audio, Shorten, CUE and M3U.
State-of-the-art audio encoding technology - Easy CD-DA Extractor includes the most advanced audio codec available, the aacPlus from the Coding Technologies.
Not quite, because including Parametric Stereo (PS) is called enhanced aacPlus by Coding Technologies (sometimes also abbreviated as "EAAC+") which is the same as HEAACv2 in MPEG terms.
• Is the referred to MPEG-4 aacPlus is AAC coupled with Coding Technologies' SBR (Spectral Band Replication) and Parametric Stereo technologies, the same as HEAACv2???
“MPEG-4 aacPlus is AAC coupled with Coding Technologies' SBR (Spectral Band Replication) and Parametric Stereo technologies."
It supports video encoding in RV10, x264, Snow, and DivX; On the audio side it encodes in MP3(8-128kbps), Vorbis(8-64kbps), AAC(96-192kbps), AAC+(32-64kbp), and AAC+ v2(16-64kbps).
Container features MKV, MP4, and RMVB in limited codecs restriction (1 video stream,RV10; 1 audio stream, AAC+ for the RMVB container).

The software will allow playback of Nero Digital Audio (MPEG-4 Audio), AAC, HE-AAC, HE-AACv2, MP3, Ogg Vorbis and WAV audio formats on your PDA, as well as video formats such as the Nero Digital (MPEG-4 Video, including AVC/H.264).
Nero will release a new software that will give users the ability to play their movies and music on their smartphones and PDAs.
The Nero ShowTime Mobile is currently in the Beta 2 version and will be available by the end of the year.
With the addition of Parametric Stereo in MPEG, aacPlus v2 is the state-of-the-art low bit rate open standards audio codec.
aacPlus v2 is specified as the high quality audio codec in 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project), and all of its components are part of MPEG-4.
MPEG-4 aacPlus is the combination of three MPEG technologies comprising Advanced Audio Coding (AAC), coupled with Coding Technologies' Spectral Band Replication (SBR), and Parametric Stereo (PS) technologies.
Well, I've developed a CLI codec for Enhanced AACPlus, aka AACPlus v2, aka AAC+SBR+PS using the reference encoder sourcecode provided by Coding Technologies.
I had to modify the source a little bit because the encoder wants only 48kHz or 32kHz audio, but the only forceable sample rate dbPowerAmp provides is 44.1kHz.
Description: AAC Encoder (FAAC v1.24.1) and Decoder Codec (ID Tags are written as Ape v2 Tags or ID3v2)
Apple supplies protected mp4 files in a.m4p format from its online audio store (whilst dBpowerAMP cannot decode these see Forum for details on fair use).
Description: Nero Encoder (requires full version of Nero v5, or v6)
A powerful file converter is inside Easy CD Ripper and it supports converting MP3, WAV, WMA, VQF, OGG, APE, AAC, MP4 from one format to another.
Kongsoft MP3 CD Burner is a software tool that helps you to create normal audio CDs from your favorite MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, APE, VQF, MP4 files.
Besides professional ripping functions, it can clone CD bit by bit perfectly and supports MP3 ID3 V1/V2 edting, Free CDDB Submission, beautiful and changable skins, professional and user-friend interface, and much much more...
Being a subband encoder and given their inherent nature to be less efficient than transform coders, it is worse than AAC and Ogg Vorbis in bitrates lower than 160 kbps.
Musepack is considered shareware, and at stream version 8 (SV8) the encoder may have a price, however, decoding will always be free.
It is unlikely that Musepack will gain any commercial acceptance, due to the lack of CBR for streaming; users of Musepack have - in the past, and will continue to be in the future - been limited to the audiophile community.
In the future, as new compression algorithms such as MPEG AAC-HE are introduced, this new DSP will give us the performance we need to handle them cost effectively."
Additionally, the C67x generation is supported by TI's eXpressDSP software and development tools including the CCStudio v2.2 IDE, DSP/BIOS real-time kernel and a wide range of eXpressDSP-compliant software and hardware from the DSP industry's most comprehensive third-party network.

February 22, 2005: InterVideo adds Coding Technologies' MPEG aacPlus v2 to mobile ringtone server software
September 13, 2004: StreamGuys in affiliation with Coding Technologies and Orban are now supplying high-quality MPEG aacPlus streaming services for listeners using Winamp and Real Player.
Die bereits durch 3GPP, MPEG und DVB standardisierte aacPlus v2-Technologie von Coding Technologies ist die Kombination von AAC mit den von Coding Technologies entwickelten Technologien Spectral Band Replication (SBR) und Parametric Stereo.
So kann man mit aacPlus Musik in 5.1-Multikanal-Qualität bei 128 Kilobit pro Sekunde streamen und downloaden, in CD-naher Stereo-Qualität bei 32 Kilobit pro Sekunde, in guter Stereo-Qualität bei 24 Kilobit pro Sekunde und in guter Qualität für gemischte Inhalte sogar unter 16 Kilobit pro Sekunde.
"aacPlus ermöglicht mobZilla das Streaming von Audioinhalten in höherer Qualität bei weniger als 30 % der Bandbreite des herkömmlichen MP3-Formates", erklärt Benjamin Ziskind, Chief Strategy Officer, mobZilla.
Enhanced aacPlus is equivalent to the technology called aacPlus v2 by Coding Technologies.
aacPlus offers twice the coding efficiency of the conventional AAC LC method, enabling data of the same quality to be achieved at approximately half the data transfer speed (bit rate).
The Enhanced aacPlus Decoding Middleware will thus provide development solutions for applications supporting the aacPlus standard, including Enhanced aacPlus, which is expected to become widely adopted in various kinds of services.
The first step to playing these files from slimserver on linux is to follow the instructions in the slimsevices FAQ, specifically the section entitled "Does squeezebox support AAC on Linux systems" in the Supported formats section.
However, there's a catch; the latest faad2 release (v2.0 released on 7th Feb 2004) contains a bug which means it is unable to play back m4a files under linux.
Then your mate comes along with his iPod and you've suddenly got 23GB of mp3 and m4a files.
