For SC7, to simplify installation of AACplus support, I have created a
plugin. It is a "holder" and does nothing but enables all the AACplus
files to have their own directories and so editing of conf or
strings.txt files is no longer needed.

Mplayer is required to decode the AACplus streams and can be downloaded
from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html

Feedback on the installation instructions (especially for different
Linux distros and OSX) is needed so the Wiki can be updated.

For slow AACplus streams (e.g. 48k,64k) - the track titles will appear
on the SB displayed but they are delayed by around 5 minutes

Windows Installation.
1. Download the AACplusWin.zip file
2. Unzip the contents so that in the SC7 directory
server/Plugins/AACplus there is a Plugin.pm and a Bin directory. 
3. If you do not have AlienBBC installed ort mplayer in another Bin
directpory of SC7 do the following
a. Download the non-GUI version of mplayer from
http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/win32/MPlayer-mingw32-1.0rc2.zip
b. Unzip so that there is mplayer.exe in server/Plugins/AACplus/Bin
4. Restart Slimserver and check Settings/Advanced/FileTypes that there
are AACplus entries and they are enabled.
5. Test 

Linux/OSX Installation
1. Download the AACplusLinux.tar.gz file
2. Unzip the contents so that in the SC7 directory Plugins/AACplus
there is a Plugin.pm and a Bin directory. Make sure files have correct
ownership and permissions especially aacpmplayer.sh in AACplus/Bin - it
must be executable.
3. Install mplayer if you do not have mplayer installed.  Use standard
OSX mplayer install as th AACplus plugin should find the correct
mplayer.
4. Restart Slimserver and check Settings/Advanced/FileTypes that there
are AACplus entries and they are enabled.
5. Test
