Orban/Coding Technologies Offer AAC/aacPlus Player Plugin Beta

Coding Technologies and Orban are offering a public beta for the new Orban/Coding Technologies AAC/aacPlus Player Plugin. When installed, this free software will enable users of the Microsoft Windows Media Player to take advantage of the low-bandwidth audio format to deliver high-quality audio streams while realizing savings in bandwidth costs, say the companies.
“Content rebuffering is the static of digital radio,” said Shawn Hopwood, senior director of Coding Technologies. “Our aacPlus audio codec helps content providers like XM Satellite Radio, AOL and Sprint make rebuffering a thing of the past.”
The Orban/Coding Technologies AAC/aacPlus Player Plugin works with Microsoft Windows Media version 9 or 10. It supports standard ID3 metadata tags that display real-time stream data such as artist, album, and song information.
