question about AAC playback.

(1/2) > >>

sa24:
hi everyone, I'm new here and was wondering about AAC and rockbox... :)

As I understand AAC isn't supported. I have an ipod video 30GB with rockbox and all my songs are 256kbs VBR AAC files.
It plays fine UNLESS I have the EQ enabled.-- in which case it skips about every 5 seconds. It works perfectly fine w/o the EQ.

I'm not hoping for much of a solution on this, honestly, but is there anything that can b done to have smooth playback with the EQ enabled?

AAC 256Kbps will use about 40MHz of your 80MHz CPU.  If you enable too many EQ bands you'll run out of CPU and get skipping.  Either use fewer EQ bands, get a faster MP3 player, or use a format rockbox can decode faster.

sa24:
Would I beable to use all 5 EQ bands if i used .ogg?

saratoga:
I'm not sure.  Ogg takes about 30MHz on your player, so it'll definitely be faster.

sa24:
Ok thanks. I'll convert just a few songs to ogg and give that a shot w/ the EQ... And then convert the rest if that works out. If not I suppose ill try some other formats like .mp3 or what not.
thanks!
