* Download a 5.6.2+ (but pre-5.8) version of Winamp, as {{code|enc_fhgaac.dll}} is not included in 5.8+.
* Open the setup exe file as an archive using a tool such as 7-Zip.
* Copy the following files directly to the foobar2000 "encoders" folder:
** {{code|Plugins\enc_fhgaac.dll}}
** {{code|libmp4v2.dll}}
* Restart foobar2000 to use the "AAC (Winamp FhG)" option when converting files.
