aacPlus - Streaming audio sweetness!

Forget mp3 streams that take up 128kbps of your bandwidth! aacPlus is here! I don’t know how all this works, but it sounds great to me!

I first heard of aacPlus on woxy.com while checking out their streams. I quickly downloaded the latest winamp to get aacPlus support and was really impressed when I connected! Very nice quality even at 24kbps! And great at 48kbps!

So download winamp (Windows) and check out the streams! Also, VLC (Win/Mac/Linux) works great too - and plays just about anything, audio or video.

My favorite aacPlus stations:

- woxy.com (The Best Ever!)
- woxy.com vintage (Oldies but goodies)
- soma fm (Groove Salad and Secret Agent are sweet!)
- wksu (classical, npr - WKSU 3, The Classical Channel is great!)

Wanna stream aacPlus yourself, I guess you need this.

(side note: Google Video’s player plugin is based on VLC.)
