Hi MP3Tag First of all thank you very much for the hands down best tag editor on the market! As the MP3 format now has been announced "dead", do you have any plans on supporting AAC?

Regarding this attention-grabbing announcement, I suggest reading [“MP3 is dead” missed the real, much better story](https://marco.org/2017/05/15/mp3-isnt-dead) by Marco Arment: > [@](#): > > Until a few weeks ago, there had never been an audio format that was small enough to be practical, widely supported by hardware and software, and unrestricted by patents, forcing difficult choices and needless friction upon the computing world. Now, at least for audio, that friction has officially ended. There’s finally a great choice without asterisks. > > MP3 is supported by everything, everywhere, and is now patent-free. There has never been another audio format as widely supported as MP3, it’s good enough for almost anything, and now, over twenty years since it took the world by storm, it’s finally free.

And with the announcement from Frauenhofer, iTunes might stop supporting "convert to mp3" in future (my personal speculation of course). But never the less I would appreciate support for AAC... 🙂 ---
