Plugin:AutoDJ:Winamp Encoder

This page documents a development or unofficial plugin for RadioBot. You should not count on this plugin working, being publically released, or being stable.

Plugin Description

This plugin is for Windows only and lets you use Winamp/NSV tools/SHOUTcast DSP encoder plugins to encode your audio. The first question you probably want to ask is, why would I want to do that?

The answer is simple, because Winamp and the SHOUTcast DSP come with AAC+ encoders!

How do I get the AAC+ encoder DLLs

Because of the licensing on the encoder DLLs, I cannot provide them to you. I can however give you these instructions. Currently, the shoutcast DSP has a different version of the DLL than Winamp 5.5. The one included in the DSP works with !autodj-winamp-config, the one included with Winamp does not.

enc_aacplus.dll that comes with the SHOUTcast DSP

Download the SHOUTcast DSP from shoutcast.com or from this mirror.
Go to your Winamp folder (most commonly C:\Program Files\Winamp on 32-bit systems and C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp on 64-bit systems).
* Copy nscrt.dll to your RadioBot folder.
Go into the Plugins folder in your Winamp directory. (not the plugins folder in your RadioBot folder)
* Copy enc_aacplus.dll to your RadioBot folder.

enc_aacplus.dll that comes with Winamp 5.1+

Download and install Winamp from winamp.com (you can also try other versions of the plugin from http://www.winampheaven.net/).
Go to your Winamp folder (most commonly C:\Program Files\Winamp on 32-bit systems and C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp on 64-bit systems).
* Copy nscrt.dll to your RadioBot folder.
Go into the Plugins folder in your Winamp directory. (not the plugins folder in your RadioBot folder)
* Copy enc_aacplus.dll to your RadioBot folder.

What about the NSV tools MP3 Encoder

If you want to use the NSV tools MP3 encoder (the only reason you should really do this is if you want to use other methods of VBR than the newest/best ABR method)
Download and install the NSV tools from http://www.nullsoft.com/nsv/
Go to your NSVtools folder (most commonly C:\Program Files\NSVtools on 32-bit systems and C:\Program Files (x86)\NSVtools on 64-bit systems).
* Copy nsv_coder_lame.dll to your RadioBot folder.
* Copy lame_enc.dll to your RadioBot folder.
