A sensible way to work. > You might be frustrated by this bug that doesn't > make it an high importance for the other users though The bug's not high importance for me, and I thought I'd unsubscribed from it -- apparently not, as I'm still getting these notifications. (I'll have to check.) Of course, that doesn't mean that I don't care about being able to use MP4 audio. Neither does it mean that I think MP4 audio an unimportant format strategically. It's merely that I've realized that it's better to make other arrangements for encoding. (Of course, the same may apply to others who haven't even bothered to subscribe.) At least playback is there, and even if encoding could be done I doubt anyone's going to compete on quality with either Nero's AAC encoder or the one that QuickTime 7.3 is using, anyway. Perhaps any Ubuntu users who aren't dual-booting and who are frustrated by this issue might try encoding to a lossless format, such as FLAC, instead. They could then transcode from FLAC to AAC using Foobar2000 whenever they could get access to a Windows machine quite easily provided Nero's codec was installed. Apparently, some people have successfully used Nero under Wine, too: <http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Linux_and_Nero_AAC> -- Michael -- sound juicer aac formatted files skip and... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95326 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
