Interesting - especially if you do not have faad installed on your SlimServer. My understanding is that faad is required for decoding the AAC file. I have just uninstalled FAAD from my server, and after re-starting slimserver I am unable to play any music through softsqueeze or slimserver. The display says "PROBLEM: CANT OPEN FILE FOR:". This to me proves FAAD is required (at least on my server) for playing AACs. Perhaps you have a different AAC decoder installed?
