View Full Version : Unable to "scrub" on AAC & HE-AACv2

I know that this topic has been discussed a lot, but I want to explain my problem, which I think is different.

I have encoded a few files with dbPowerAmp & Nero AAC Encoder to the HE-AAC v2 format. Well, with TCPMP I can play them successfully (I have an "original" WM5 Universal).

The problem is that I'm not able to play them with any other software and I need something more "MP3-player-like" than TCPMP. Summarizing:

- WMP of course cannot neither see nor play files;
- Pocket Music with the AAC plugin crashes: I tried the demo version, PM asks for the registration of the AAC plugin and then suddenly crashes all times; the files are visible on the library but with wrong length (duration of the track);
- Conduits Pocket Player sees the files BUT with a wrong length (duration of the track); if I try to play a song, the sound is "cracky" and disturbed (on the contrary TCPMP plays perfectly!) and if you scrub (i.e. jump forward on time on the song) PP freezes.

So none of the software which claim to play AAC files works for me on Universal WM5. Have you got the same problem? Or am I missing something?

The files are encoded at 48kbps HE-AACv2; I also tried with "normal" AAC but the results are the same. Do anyone can explain me what's wrong? Why the incorrect song length?
TIA

Do anyone have the same issue? I don't need a solution, I would only know I'm not the only one with this problem... ;)

Do you play AAC successfully on your mobile (with the correct file duration displayed and being able to "scrub")? With which software?

You need a AAC decoder for WMP. I was using that before and that worked but I can't remember now which decode filter I used or from where I got it.

You may google it...

You need a AAC decoder for WMP.

Thank you for your answer. I really googled a lot, but withouth results.
I could only find:



AAC codec for Windows Media Player for Windows (NOT for Windows Mobile)
AAC decoder for TCPMP
AAC decoder for PocketMusic Player (which, as I said before, crashes)

But nothing for Windows Media Player for Windows Mobile 5. Can anyone help me or at least address me?

This issue is driving me crazy! :(
