What Is AACelerator?
AACelerator is the quickest way to easily encode all of your audio files into MPEG-4 Advanced Audio Codec (AAC) audio files. This new encoding format included in QuickTime 6 represents a significant step forward in encoded file size and sonic quality. By all accounts, audio encoded at the same bit rates as MP3 files will result in audio files with superior sonic quality. This encoding format will also produce a file with equivalent sonic quality at much lower bit rates, allowing you to store your music collection in much less disk space.
AACelerator works together with QuickTime 6 to encode the audio files. The application uses AppleScript to feed the QuickTime Player application the files you would like encoded and exports them with the settings you specify. A valid, registered license for QuickTime 6 Pro is require for this process to work.
AACelerator supports the following features:
- Drag-n-Drop files, folders, or entire CDs & disks and encode them with one click ease
- Encode hinted streaming files for QuickTime Streaming Server
- Embed Artist, Album, and other song information into an MPEG-4 file or copy a subset of ID3 Tags from existing MP3 files
- Supports data rates from 8 kbps through 320 kbps
- Batch process multiple audio files in one step, easily encode an entire CD
- Produces QuickTime AAC files fully compatible with iTunes and other popular MP3 software players
