Nero 9 - AAC & other audio plug-ins

In Nero 9, the AAC.dll plug-in doesn't show up, and neither do any of the Mausau audio plug-ins for APE, FLAC, etc. FLAC is now natively supported, but what happened to the audio plug-in system?

With Nero 7, I was able to drop AAC.dll from Nero 6 into the AudioPlugins folder, and it would show up as an additional Nero AAC audio plug-in when using the Encode Files dialog.

I liked the settings better, so I could continue to use my usual "Transparent" profile, and not have to select a particular quality value. According to the tags in the mp4 files, it was still using the newest Nero AAC encoder, so AAC.dll was just providing a front-end dialog.

The plugin folder moved to a different location under the nero burning rom folder (or whatever other Nero application you are using). AFAIK the older plugins should still work as long as you copy the files in the right location.

The (very) old AAC.dll is not capable of using the new encoder. Maybe you get the dialog from the old plugin but if the tags say the new encoder is used your settings in that old plugin's dialog have not been used, it will have used the defaults of the new plugin ( -q 0.5 probably).
