Any hopes of a mp3pro input plugin?

Just gave it a try. Sounds pretty good to me. Still, I find ogg to sound slightly better and ogg files are also smaller than wma at same bitrate. In both areas the difference is not such that wma should be ruled out though, especially if one considers that it definitely is now a major format (my I-River cd player can play wma, great!)

Sorry...I use iTunes.  They sound great there.

You don't have to be sorry, I'm the one who's sorry that I can't use iTunes. Only a few weeks before we can give it a try, or so they say....

iCamp:
Good point.  It'll be neat to see it on Windows.

lOth:
Just made my first mp4s with Nero. Used the Winamp in_mp4.dll to play them in MC. Well... about 20% smaller than my ogg and the sound... just kick ass!

Now Nero is a pain to use to encode files and the mp4 encoder plugin is a limited trial. JRiver has to come up with something here. I understand that they would have to charge for an encoder plug-in. I've also seen that there were people working on developing windows aac standalone encoders. A German company plans on charging 20¤ for its soon to be released encoder. Seems like a reasonable price to me after having heard what Nero does...

Finally a few questions: how is mp4 different from aac?
Can an iPod play mp4 files as such, or do the files need to be renamed to aac first? If so, could MC transfer and rename mp4 onto an iPod all at the same time.

Sorry if the questions sound dumb, but I'm a little lost here.  :-[
