- Important info for all retro streamers. Change audio encoder to Apple AAC. Default FFmpeg AAC is trash, especially for NES and Gameboy games.

Solved issues with FLAC to AAC conversion on current iTunes build
- IMPORTANT: These QTfiles are not included in the official encoder pack: I had issues converting FLAC to AAC and could not find a clear answer (kept getting "The encoder has terminated prematurely with code 2 (0x00000002); please re-check parameters") and I finally discovered that I needed to download the QTfiles dlls in order to properly convert from FLAC using qaac. These files can be downloaded here (https://github.com/AnimMouse/QTFiles/releases). Just unzip the 7zip folder into the encoder folder where you installed Foobar2000 (default location on Windows 10 would be: "C:\Program Files (x86)\foobar2000\encoders")

iPod Classic 120gb - iTunes won't transfer Apple Lossless (refalac 1.75 .m4a) or AIFF.
You can get the actual AAC encoder here if you don't already have it: https://github.com/AnimMouse/QTFiles
