AACPlus with Winamp2 ?

Hayho,

Me and some friends of mine are still using Winamp2.
Now I installed Winamp5, so I can stream AACPlus via Shoutcast, because my bandwidth says : "Yeah, dont you use mp3 , its too freaking big!".
I copied "enc_aacplus.dll" "in_mp4.dll" and "libmp4v2.dll" from my winamp5 (5.21) plugins directory. My friends put those files into their winamp2 plugins directory, but they still can't hear the stream.

Do I need some extra Plug-In or stuff for Winamp2 to get it work ?

They do not want to update to Winamp5, before anyone comes up with this idea. And in fact, I'd be happy if I could use Winamp2 for streaming again, too

I used the search-option, but I only found to put the in_mp4.dll in there (for winamp3), but it doesn't seem to work for winamp2.

I'd really appreciate every help, thanks in advance

enc_* is a winamp3 (iirc, maybe winamp5) api, and will not work with 2. For listening you don't need it anyway. in_mp4 might also use a newer api version, 5.2 changed a lot internally. So it looks like you're out of luck unless they want to run two copies of winamp side-by-side.

Oh, right, I almost forgot about the Rarewares AAC plugin.

for aac you need in_mp3 not in_mp4 becouse acc decodere is in in_mp3. in_mp4 is used only when audio is in mp4,m4a container

I tried the in_mp3.dll from WA5, but since you say its api changed, it obviously does not work.

The AAC Plugin from rarewares does not work, either.


I mean, there just HAS to be something I can do to listen an AAC+ shoutcaststream via winamp2 :/

Are there old FAAD2 plugins for Winamp2? Perhaps that could work?

But if the Plugin:

MP4/AAC input plugin for Winamp2 and Winamp5, based on FAAD2 (supports the same profiles). Includes MP4 tagging compatible with Apple iTunes.

is based on FAAD2 , then I don't think a old FAAD2 Plugin would do better,

IIRC FAAD2 hasn't changed much in like forever. Even an old version should work.

It is not the same. I do not like it. It uses up more resources and except for that AAC+ thing it does not have one single improvement i would need

But thanks for the explaination

Why do you insist on using broken and outdated software?

Oh yeah, ignoring the Topic of a Thread and collecting posts by asking nonsense questions that do not have anything to do with my original question is soo much fun....

The only nonsense here is using outdated software with known exploits and tonnes of bugs, for the only reason that it has "higher resource usage" (which, even if it does, I doubt even matters).

Winamp 2 is broken and old. If things don't work, updating to a version that works is the only reasonable solution. 2 and 5 are the same anyways, if you remove the fancy new plugins.

Winamp2 works fine for me regarding bugs. With the exploits, there is not one single known winamp2 exploit that is bothering me.

And it's not like the software is it, that is not working anymore, there is just a missing codec. I don't download a complete new Media Player everytime there gets a new xvid version published...

And it freaking is nonsense trying to convince me to use winamp5 if I say I want to use Winamp2. Using Winamp5 would just bypass the problem and not resolve it.
I do not like bypassing problems that can be solved, so I'm asking here how it can be solved, where you try to convince me to bypass the problem....
I am sure there must be some way to do it, since it's just a freakin codec.

Now thanks for stopping this discussion, I won't respond to such things anymore. I think i declared my point of view and that's how it is.

How is upgrading to a version that works bypassing the problem, and not solving it? I'm trying to tell you that Winamp 2 is the problem. Winamp 5 is the same thing. It's just a more recent version of the same codebase (unlike Winamp 3). You have yet to give a valid reason for stubbornly insisting on using Winamp 2.

Your Media Player vs. XviD analogy fails.

No you make a big mistake lastest winamp 5 in classic skin not use more resoures than version 2. You should be try before say anything. I aslo hate winamp 5 but after version 5.07 or something things are change to better.

Bye

If resources are an issue, why not try Foobar2000 for playback of these aac streams.  You might find that it will suit your needs even better, as the new release is quite user friendly. 

With Foobar for your streaming needs, you won't have to try updating your old Winamp 2 which you seem to prefer for general playback.

By the way, you can use oddsock (Icecast2 server)standalone for streaming, meaning you could continue to use Winamp2 or whatever you like (it encodes right from the soundcard).

Believe it or not, Winamp 5.21 is faster and uses less resources than the old 2.8x and 2.9x series.  Just be sure to uncheck the media library and the freeform skinning engine during installation.

If you absolutely insist on sticking with 2.9x (it's like a religion for some people), in_mp3.dll, in_mp4.dll, and libmp4v2.dll from Winamp 5.112 should work OK, but nothing newer.

Winamp 5 still takes longer to open for me...

Still, I guess it's a price worth paying for all the security holes plugged, and built in aacPlus support  And hey, its like 1.5 seconds on my old P3 1 GHz, compared to like .5 seconds for 2.95, big whoop.

I have to say, until very recently I wasnt convinced that 5 in classic mode was a true workalike, there were still just a couple little nitpicky things I didnt like about it. But they really did a nice job with 5.3.

I'm convinced. No more oldversion.com downloading of 2.95 for me!!

If you're so concerned with resources, use the Lite version.

2.9x indeed consumes more memory, and there are also tons of bugs (tagging, playback, mixer, etc). Just go to 5.3 Lite.
