I assumed for the longest time that SomaFM AAC streams (1+ year?) were just down since the links (even direct ones) just crashed or froze musicbee. They worked previously. But then I tried them in Foobar and they work fine.
Problem: Musicbee is unable to play AAC format radio streams, of any bitrate.
Examples:
http://ice3.somafm.com/groovesalad-128-aachttp://ice6.somafm.com/indiepop-64-aachttp://ice2.somafm.com/lush-32-aacThey don't error out, they seem to freeze or crash the audio codec so that the application has to be restarted. The error log is empty.
Settings:
**
UPDATE.
Oops. Solved with bass_aac.dll file added. Thanks. Hopefully this post will help other confused souls.
Would it be possible for musicbee to give an indication/error to user that a codec isn't working rather than just freezing?
