Title: Aac Files
Post by: clofland on July 21, 2005, 02:06:22 pm

My Nokia phone requires AAC files with ADTS headers.

However, my Zaurus will not play AAC files with ADTS headers, only "RAW" AAC files. That is using mplayer.

Is there a way to get mplayer to plan AAC files with ADTS headers? Is there another program fro the Z that will?

I would really like to be able to play the same files from the same MMC card on both devices, but this is stopping me.

Thanks for any ideas. I did see that the mplayer version from here http://atty.jp/?Zaurus%2Fmplayer (http://atty.jp/?Zaurus%2Fmplayer) claims in the change log to have added support for ADTS AAC files, but it doesn't work any better for me that the default one from Maslovski.

If someone needs a sample file I can send it. Basically just make a AAC file with faac.exe like so:

faac.exe -o song.aac song.wav

and it will have ADTS headers and will not work on the Z.

If you use the -w switch or the -r switch, then it will not have ADTS headers, and will work on the Z, but not on my Nokia phone.

EDIT: I was wrong, mplayer doesn't play "RAW" AAC's, just AAC's in MP4 containers. Nokia wants ADTS headers and the Zaurus wants them in an MP4 container. Use NO switch in faac to get ADTS, use the -w to get MP4.

You could either try LAMIP (see [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=11336]this thread[/url] for details) if an audio-only player is sufficient for you or, if you don't mind the overhead, you could also give the VLC Media Player a try (more details here (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=13518), as well as here (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=8142) and here (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=12031)). Obviously quite a few of those can be found using 'AAC' as a search term using this forum's search function

Best regards,
Chris.

Thanks. LAMIP plays the files from the command line with the-n option just great!

However, the GUI front end doesn't put out any sound. The only key I can get any response from is the HOME key that blanks the screen. Not sure where to go with that, but I can be happy with command line support for now.
