I believe a piece of your soul is eaten away.

 

I have no idea what AAC really is. It's some sort of music encoding developed by Apple that works exclusively in iTunes. I think it's that format that Apple was touting as being very hi-fi while not using up as much disk space as other hi-fi file formats.

 

Also, it will work on iPods, unlike other hi-fi formats.

it is the WMA of Apple, but like adam said, it only works with iTunes.

[Crusader]

not a fan of AAC, FLAC, or WMA.

 

my clay aiken mp3s should be universal.

AAC works in quicktime.

 

Apple rarely if ever reinvents it's own wheels, so virtually all Audio is done using Quicktime via CoreAudio.

Oddly enough, I found UnRarX minutes after making this thread, but didn't mention it, because I thought some of you would enjoy feeling useful and helpful. Well, now you have another chance. Sometimes I leave certain applications on running for a long time, this is deliberate, so I have disabled the computer's setting that makes it go to sleep after a certain time period, opting instead to have the computer automatically shut it itself off at a certain time using the "Schedule" setting. However, often times, when I return to the comp after having left it alone for hours, but not having it reach the time it's supposed to shut off (not even close) I'll find the applications I deliberately left running have been closed for some reason. For for instance, I leave the computer and the applications running at like 4pm, and the computer is scheduled to shut off at 2am, why is it, when I check back at 6pm, the application I left running is closed? And what do I do to stop it?

[ToadMan]

What application? (Based on needing UnRar, and leaving running for long periods, can I guess Bittorent ;)). Are there any messages on the screen (Application Unexpectedly exited)?

 

If there aren't any messages on the screen you might need to check the console (Application->Utilities->Console) That might tell you what is happening.

 

I don't know of any reason an application would be shut down by the OS, except for in a crash. Which may mean that the application has some configuration that causes it to exit on it's own.

Heh, excellent work detective... well sort of.

 

There aren't any error messages when I get back on the comp, it's just closed as if it were never running in the first place.

[Monochrome Rainbow]

It may be something in the application preferences, Tim. You may want to check there.

 

I don't know, I use Azureus and it works wonderfully. Try downloading that maybe just to see if you have the same problem?
