Default AAC support

Is there any way of directly importing AAC files into reaper? I'm putting together a music radio show using Reaper. Most of the music is in AAC files so I'm having to convert to WAV first. It would be really useful to bypass this.

+1 for AAC/MP4 support

It's a pity, but I don't think there is a solution at the moment. It's probably a propriety codec that requires payment. I rip my AAC files to wav using Foobar2000. It converts anything to anything. Highly recommended.

Well, it should at least have the export ability.

Licensing cost. It's the reason there's no MP3 encoder built in either.

Aren't there commandline or DLL solutions available that Reaper could support, but that the user has to get on his/her own ?

And I second the Foobar2000 recommendation. You can set up conversion presets, complete with "Ask where to put it" or a static location for the decoded files. Until Reaper supports this directly, Foobar2000 is also an excellent encoding frontend.

There's the open source FAAD and FAAC, but I don't know how easy it is to find binaries of those.

[edit]Google found binaries of those in 0.64 seconds, so it isn't too bad[/edit]

There's also the Nero aac encoder. It's free and I think it's one of the better ones.

Isn't there a way of plugging in to Quicktime so it you have it installed you can use its codecs?... he says knowing nothing about this stuff, but hoping it would work... Maybe that's a Mac only thing.
