AAC decoders different? iTunes-encoded gapless, Nero is not...

Anyway, for AAC to be gapless, the decoder need to read some extra information, written by the file by the encoder. Currently Rockbox knows where iTunes writes it, but not where Nero writes it.

Thanks Lear - that answers precisely what I was wondering.  I apologize to the rest for being unclear.  My question was all about AAC playback on the Rockbox firmware.  ;D

To clarify - I do have a Rockboxed Sansa, and I know I won't be able to Rockbox the iPod Classic (well, as things currently stand since Apple locked the new models down).  I was wanting to go with Nero instead of Vorbis for my lower-bitrate encodes (I use LAME for higher bitrate lossy), and Rockbox allows me to listen to AAC on the Sansa.  I know Nero is not the most efficient on Rockbox, but the Vorbis will be of no use to me when I get the iPod Classic later on.  AAC playback is of use to me now because I can play it now on Rockbox and later on the iPod native firmware.

So, I was just wondering why the difference in playback on Rockbox, since I thought there was just the one decoder for AAC streams.
