AAC nero installation problems

[dudjs]

Hello all

Just discovered music bee and loving it so far.......am about to start the mammoth task of re-ripping my CD collection, in decent quality, all organised, with the correct album art, syncing it to phone and tablet....... and so on. I think I might be slightly mad to attempt this, but been wanting to do this for ages and as have just been made redundant this is my 'treat' for myself!! Am consoling myself about how fantastic it will be when it is done

Whilst I don't claim to be an expert user, I can usually find my way around tweaking settings, pc problems and so on....however am a bit rusty in this as I haven't played around for several years. The forums here have some great tips on them which have already got bookmarked... but I seem to be falling at he first hurdle. I know there is going to be a really simple answer to this but I just can't find it - anyone help?

So - after a lot of research am going for ripping the collection in high quality AAC (good for the portable devices etc as well as generally good sound/space balance)

Installed MB fine...have a new version of nero just downloaded (2016) which came with plug in DVD/CD drive.

I am trying without success to get the various .exe files (neroAacDec, neroAacEnc, and neroAacTag) into MusicBee. I have followed the guidance, found other posts from here including this one:

but still stuck......I cannot find the .exe files to copy over to the MusicBee folder. I am wondering if this is an issue with Windows 10 not finding them....or am I doing something very basic wrong?!?!

I dont have much hair left and am pulling what remains out already...... any advice would be VERY gratefully received.

Thanks in advace

Welcome to the forum dudjs,

It shouldn't be too difficult.
You need to download neroaacenc.exe, which you can for example find here:
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/nero_aac_codec.htm
Extract that zip file, and then inside the win32 folder you will find the needed exe.

Copy that into MusicBee's Codec folder, and you should be done.
