How to get qaac encoder working on Windows 10 without all the bloatware?

orion44 · 6th June 2019, 23:04

I want to install qaac encoder on Windows 10 64-bit.
To get it working, it requires iTunes or QuickTime installed.

I do not want iTunes or QuickTime installed on Windows 10.

Is there a way to get qaac working without all this bloatware?

Also, where can I get the latest binary of Fraunhofer FDK AAC Encoder?

Thanks.

You don't need to install iTunes/QuickTime. The author offers a script to exctract the necessary files from the iTunes installer.

See the following guide for detailed instructions:

You could build it using MBAS (https://github.com/jb-alvarado/media-autobuild_suite).
