I just tried with another .aac file I have, and old GoldWave still didn't like it, but old WinAmp did, so there are obviously more than one kind of .aac file. I've used Foobar with good results converting from one format to another. You can try that one. Losslessly? -- J. P. Gilliver.

No, sorry, I haven't tried anything other than MP3. But I have. If you are talking about using Foobar2000 to convert from one lossless format to another, say Apple Lossless to FLAC, it works perfectly. I think I had to acquire the ALAC codec from elsewhere, but you can set FB2K to use it or most other external codecs. |

I usually convert to MP3s because of their use in my van's deck. I haven't used lossless formats at all yet. One of these days.. |
