About MPEG-4 AAC

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is at the core of the MPEG-4 AAC

 

 

standard, which incorporates MPEG-2 AAC, forming the basis of the

 

MPEG-4 audio compression technology. The file format and

 

extension used depend on the application used to encode the AAC

 

file. This unit plays back AAC files encoded by iTunes® bearing the

 

extension ‘.m4a’. DRM-protected files will not play, and files

 

encoded with some versions of iTunes® may not play, or filenames

 

may display incorrectly.
