'''fhgaacenc''' is a command-line encoder through which the [[FhG AAC]] encoder included with [[Winamp]] can be used.

An updated version (20151024) with some fixes by Case is included with the foobar2000 [[foobar2000:Free Encoder Pack|Free Encoder Pack]].<ref>{{ha|https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,106494.0.html|qaac.exe and fhgaacenc.exe}}</ref>

==Setup==

{{panel|'''Note:''' The required {{code|enc_fhgaac.dll}} can only be found in Winamp versions 5.62–5.666.|color=yellow}}

====Option 1====
* Download and install the relevant version of Winamp.

====Option 2====
* Download the relevant version of Winamp, but '''do not''' install it.
* Open the setup exe file as an archive using a tool such as 7-Zip.
* Copy the following files to the same folder as {{code|fhgaacenc.exe}}:
** {{code|Plugins\enc_fhgaac.dll}}
** {{code|libmp4v2.dll}}
** {{code|nsutil.dll}}

==Command-line usage==
The following usage notes are from version 20151024:
<pre style="display: table;">Usage: fhgaacenc.exe [options] infile [outfile]
Note: pass - as infile to encode from stdin.
pass - as outfile to encode to stdout (ADTS only).

General encoding options
--cbr <bitrate> : encode in CBR mode, bitrate=8..576
--vbr <preset> : encode in VBR mode, preset=1..6 [default, preset 4]
1: HE-AAC v2 (~32 kbps)
2: HE-AAC (~64 kbps)
3: AAC LC (~96 kbps)
4: AAC LC (~128 kbps)
5: AAC LC (~192 kbps)
6: AAC LC (~256 kbps)
--profile <auto|lc|he|hev2> : choose AAC profile (only for CBR mode)
auto : automatically choose the optimum profile
according to the bitrate [default]
lc : force use LC-AAC profile
he : force use HE-AAC (AAC+SBR) profile
hev2 : force use HE-AAC v2 (AAC+SBR+PS) profile
--adts : use ADTS container instead of MPEG-4
Other options
--ignorelength : ignore the size of data chunk when encoding from pipe
--quiet : don't print the progress</pre>
