And fear of Apple has caused them to remove any AAC support in this version. Since the older AAC plugin doesn't work with this version (just tried, got an error on opening a video with AAC audio) then it seems users have to choose the version they need per the files they have.
Otherwise I like this version so far. Just donated, finally, and that feels good.

This is why I won't upgrade. I have a number of videos with AAC soundtracks that don't play in the newer versions. 0.66 works fine for me and will until ACC support returns.

Strange. 0.66 audio plugins should be compatible with 0.70 version and many people reported sucessfully using "them".
Try unstalling both player and plugin and reinstall.

The best just got better
TCPMP was the best and will still be the best.
It's really bad that MS doesnt focus on mobile version of WMP.
IMO if they make the WMP of win mobile 5 better then they should atleast release a fix or a patch to ours 'old' WMPs better.
Just my $0.50
The TCPMP is really nice..
P.S: Make the interface skinnable

I am looking to add the AAC support that is currently missing in v0.70. Which plugin is the one providing AAC support in v0.66 that I can copy over? I didn't see a separate plugin download for AAC for 0.66 (the last time I saw a separate AAC plugin was with the old BetaPlayer 0.5). I have 0.66 installed now and don't see any reference to AAC in the default installed plugins in the 0.66 directory. Nor do I see it under it's other possible names. Is it part of the MPEG4 plugin support?
