fhgaacenc

fhgaacenc allows foobar2000 to utilize the Winamp FhG AAC codec, however the following steps are required to use it with the Converter component:

Download a 5.6.2+ (but pre-5.8) version of Winamp, as enc_fhgaac.dll is not included in 5.8+.
Open the setup exe file as an archive using a tool such as 7-Zip.
Copy the following files directly to the foobar2000 "encoders" folder:
- Plugins\enc_fhgaac.dll
- libmp4v2.dll
Restart foobar2000 to use the "AAC (Winamp FhG)" option when converting files.
