AACPlus next MPEG-4 audio standard?

Written by Jari Ketola @ 20 Nov 2002 15:30 User comments (1)

The MPEG-4 organization will be voting in March on whether to make AACPlus part of the evolving MPEG-4 audio standard family. AACPlus is based on technology developed by Coding TechnologiesMP3Pro.

AAC is the latest accepted portion of the MPEG-4 standard family. AACPlus aims to accomplish the same level of quality as its counterpart, but in half the size. It is especially useful in mobile devices, such as cellular phones, where bandwidth is at premium.
