[Rhythmbox-devel] iPod AAC/MP4 support?

[hans-juergen bardenhagen arcor de (Hans-Juergen Bardenhagen)]

Hi,

yesterday I read about the new iPod support for Rhythmbox in the list  
archive of mail.gnome.org, but couldn't find out if you use it with the  
AAC/MP4 format or rather with MP3 only.

If AAC/MP4 encoding is missing yet, you could use the open source codec  
FAAC for that just like foobar2000 (a Windows audio player) does it with  
foo_pod.dll, its iPod plugin. Since there is a gstreamer plugin for FAAC  
now, it should be possible to use it for transcoding any input format in  
Rhythmbox to AAC/MP4, or am I wrong?

By the way, does the gstreamer plugin also tag *.m4a files with iTunes- 
compatible tags like the command line version of FAAC does?
