There are many (and growing) AAC+ streams on the web, the excellent

the ones I particularly listen to.
The BBC have promised to publish the URLs more than once in their BBC
Radio Labs blogs - one of the instances being here:
It's always done this, nothing new.
There's no notification that plugins can use to tell when a track finishes

NOTIC
In terms of stations using AAC+ - the number is not really increasing
and some new station use and then some other stations have dropped it.
This may change if US ISP do more volume charging.
Regarding codecs I was highlighting the fact that any change will
probably be negative for some users.
Good points.
Just trying to think laterally as we know there is a large BBC
listenership on these forums.
How about something like:
Download this version of SqueezeCenter if you want native AAC+ (you
will not be able to use (say) Monkey's Audio/Ogg/Musepack) and you will
have to pay a lifetime
I'm sure the SD guys have looked very hard at ways to support AAC
natively on current hardware as it would be better for all the users of
AAC/M4a files (e.g. iTunes users) and not just for the modest number of
BBC iPlayer users.
Since no AAC support has happened up to now - I suspect the new BBC

Ian, glad you like it and had no trouble installing.
I'd like to hear what others have to say, and also what Gordon thinks.

It worked straight away.
I didn't have to perform the two import steps you describe - possibly
because I had removed Info Browser and had to re-install it and then
restart SqueezeCenter.
I haven't used ContextMenu yet - I'll take a look.

Did you use Extension Downloader to install AlienBBC ?
If yes, then it sounds like mplayer is not installed or mplayer.sh is
not executable by the SC user.

mplayer.sh is part of AlienBBC - it is in the Plugins/Alien/Bin
directory. Check that is executable and owned by the same owner as
rest of Plugin. This should be the case when using Extension
