AAC files in Panther (Mac)

[Michael Robinson]

I¹ve seen similar behaviour on my system with a Squeezebox and Mac running
Panther.

I use the Mike Solomon LAME package.

I haven¹t been able to reproduce the problem consistently * I have fixed it
by restarting the Slimp3 server and reinstalling LAME.

If it happens again, I will post the debug log * if you still have the same
problem, perhaps you could do this for your system?

We currently recommend the iTunes-LAME encoder utility instead of
Mike's package. The iTunes-LME encoder was recompiled and is much
faster on all Mac CPUs (even G3).
