The suggested posts are part of threads and the solution is clearer if
the whole thread is read.

That said - if your system has SATA disk with an nVidia interface then
the problem is probably in the QuickTime libraries so you have to use a
new decoder - change from mov123.exe to faad.exe.  The rules for
handling conversion are in the convert.conf file in the Slimserver
directory tree.  The AAC format falls under the "MOV" file type. 

So you need to do the following
1. Download a Windows version for faad.exe ( probably from here
http://www.rarewares.org/aac-decoders.php ) and copy into your
Slimserver Bin/MSWin32...(I forget the fullname)  directory.
2. Edit the convert.conf file with Wordpad (not Notepad). Change the
mov123 lines for mp3 and flc as follows (taken from wiki AAC entry).
You can add the "mov wav" lines as well. If the executable in installed
in step 1 is called faad2.exe then change the faad to faad2.

Code:
--------------------
    
  # Transcoding for AAC files.
  mov flc * *
  [faad] -w -f 2 $FILE$ | [flac] -cs --totally-silent --compression-level-0 
--endian little --sign signed --channels 2 --bps 16 --sample-rate 44100 -
  
  mov mp3 * *
  [faad] -w -f 2 $FILE$ | [lame] --resample 44100 --silent -q $QUALITY$ -b 
$BITRATE$ -x -r - -
  
  mov wav * *
  [faad] -w -f 2 $FILE$
  
--------------------

3. Restart Slimserver and check Server Setting/Filetypes - that MOV now
have 3 entries enbaled to use faad.
