AAC Audio Support

thehuman · Post by **thehuman** » Thu Jan 26, 2006 1:25 am

One more vote. My entire music library is in AAC format, and I don't even own an iPod or use iTunes (I was pissed at Apple for making me even install iTunes to get Quicktime). I use Winamp to encode to ACC. mp3 is a dated file format. It's "so last century". I'm still using 4.1.4, because this important feature hasn't been implemented. I have trouble getting myself to pay for the upgrade, but if AAC support was included, I would buy the upgrade the very same day.

I'm gonna vote twice, in the name of western electoral tradition!

Just like Florida!

Is ableton going to ask us for a recount? Who wants AAC versus those who don't know what they're talking about?

...(OK, admittedly there's also a group of people who do know what they're talking about and don't use AAC, but it sounded better the way I said it)

I think waste of time. Use wav or aif for profesion music mixing we having to many formats. But you will get this feature in six just so mp3 adding to five but REMIND the mp3 feature is not so good so expect same for aac maybe? I thinking more much importanted features than this
I say not but you will get aac

I think he must have far too much time on his hands to be posting half-baked criticisms of features that many would find useful... "think before you post"?

Just to confirm this is a feature wishlist topic.
Quite alot of people have AAC Librarys which we all feel should be supported by Live.
I am not preaching to non AAC users to start using AAC because I dont care. What you lot do with your big hard drives is your business
If you are not interested in AAC get off the topic.Oh yeah and make sure you do some research before talkling shit.
Nobodys using AAC to make songs or instead of Wav/Aiff !! You obviously think you're clever ...

I want AAC please thank you

Please sir, can I have some more? Some more AAC support, that is

I know it will probably be a feature of Live 6, but that's ages off. I need to kill time while I have a version of Live (v5) and a computer (G4 iBook) that are crap for Audio production. When I have a MacBook Pro and a copy of Live 6, I will stop posting here, for I will be complete. Or something like that.

There are ways around acc protected files.

I was sure this would be the one thing in Live 6 but it was video killed the radio

AAC support please can't wait for 7 now.
I think you gonna have to bolt this on version 6.
Anyway I hope you listen ableton cause I still cannot mix my tunes without tons of hassle and converting/re-recording to mp3 (Please don't make us do it)

Hi KineticUk,

I no nothing about a reason why or when or if AAC support is or is not there, but a sure thing is that Itunes AAC files are protected and won't play in another application. Only non-protected AAC would play.

best,
Amaury

Thats all I need Amaury
I have no protected files just my records and CDs recorded and converted for space.
(I have loads of records even with 600GB hard drive it would just fill it if left AIF)
So yes please, protected itunes I really don't need.
M4A is the format. Not M4P (I think? Like I said I have none)

I dont understand.

I would have thought this is more inportant than video, as video is not music.

Ableton you are a slut.

I played an (non-iTMS DRM'd) AAC file in the Live 6 Alpha today. It works like MP3s.
