AAC licensing is fairly straightforward with a per-unit fee for consumer devices. See http://www.vialicensing.com/Licensing/AAC_fees.cfm and http://www.vialicensing.com/Licensing/AAC_FAQ.cfm I would expect that getting a license to write your own WMA codec is a much bigger hurdle than licensing AAC, but that might be easier than I think, as well. -Steve _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
