New SliMP3 server supports AAC
I wasn’t far wrong: the brilliant developers at SliMP3 have updated the server again to support AAC encoded files, using the LAME MP3 encoder which transcodes to MP3 on the flyâvery clever stuff. I haven’t listened to enough AAC encoded tracks yet to judge the difference in quality (and whether it makes any difference transcoding it back to MP3), but with a casual listen, it sounds pretty good. There’s also support for cover art, so album covers imported into iTunes now appear automatically in the SliMP3 web interface. More proofâif proof were neededâof the power and flexibility of Perl.
