BassAac Class

public sealed class BassAac

Public NotInheritable Class BassAac

The BassAac type exposes the following members.

	Name	Description
	BASS_AAC_StreamCreateFile(IntPtr, Int64, Int64, BASSFlag)	Creates a sample stream from a AAC memory IntPtr. This overload implements streaming from memory.
	BASS_AAC_StreamCreateFile(String, Int64, Int64, BASSFlag)	Creates a sample stream from a AAC file. This overload implements UNICODE filenames. The BASS_UNICODE flag will be added automatically, since all .Net strings are always unicode.
	BASS_AAC_StreamCreateFileUser	Creates a sample stream from a AAC file via a user callback function.
	BASS_AAC_StreamCreateURL	Creates a sample stream from a AAC file on the internet, optionally receiving the downloaded data in a callback.
	BASS_MP4_StreamCreateFile(IntPtr, Int64, Int64, BASSFlag)	Creates a sample stream from a MP4 memory IntPtr. This overload implements streaming from memory.
	BASS_MP4_StreamCreateFile(String, Int64, Int64, BASSFlag)	Creates a sample stream from a MP4 file. This overload implements UNICODE filenames. The BASS_UNICODE flag will be added automatically, since all .Net strings are always unicode.
	BASS_MP4_StreamCreateFileUser	Creates a sample stream from a MP4 file via user callback functions.
	FreeMe	Unloads this library. This must be called when you have previously called LoadMe.
	LoadMe	Loads this library into memory. The library will be search in the current application directory.
	LoadMe(String)	Loads this library into memory. The library will be loaded from the given path.

	Name	Description
	SupportedStreamExtensions	Supported file extensions of the bass_aac.dll
	SupportedStreamName	Supported file format name of the bass_aac.dll

BASS_AAC is an extension to the BASS audio library, enabling the playback of AAC and MP4 files and streams.

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is a wideband audio coding algorithm that exploits two primary coding strategies to dramatically reduce the amount of data needed to convey high-quality digital audio. First, signal components that are "perceptually irrelevant" and can be discarded without a perceived loss of audio quality are removed. Next, redundancies in the coded audio signal are eliminated. Efficient audio compression is achieved by a variety of perceptual audio coding and data compression tools, which are combined in the MPEG-4 AAC specification.

The AAC and MP4 formats are used in the same way as any of the built-in BASS stream formats. Simply call BASS_PluginLoad(String) to load the add-on into BASS and benefit the usage of the standard sample/stream/URL/user functions, or call the BASS_AAC_StreamCreateFile(String, Int64, Int64, BASSFlag) /URL/User functions.
